Numbers 12:1–15

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for ^ahe had married an Ethiopian woman. ²And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? ^bhath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord ^cheard it. ^3d(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)^4dAnd the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. ^5eAnd the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. ⁶And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him ^fin a vision, and will speak unto him ^gin a dream. ^7hMy servant Moses is not so, ⁱwho is faithful in all ^kmine house. ⁸With him will I speak ^lmouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in ^mdark speeches; and ⁿthe similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against ^omy servant Moses? ⁹And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed. ¹⁰And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and ^pbehold, Miriam became ^qleprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. ¹¹And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, ^rlay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. ¹²Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb. ¹³And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. ¹⁴And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had but ^sspit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be ^tshut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again. ¹⁵And Miriam ^uwas shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
