12:1 And Mariam and Aaron spoke against
Moses, because of the Ethiopian woman whom Moses took; for he had taken an
Ethiopian woman.
12:2 And they said, Has Yehovah spoken to Moses only? has he not also
spoken to us? and Yehovah heard it.
12:3 And the man Moses was very meek beyond all the men that were upon the
earth.
12:4 And Yehovah said immediately to Moses and Aaron and Mariam, Come forth
all three of you to the tabernacle of witness.
12:5 And the three came forth to the tabernacle of witness; and Yehovah
descended in a pillar of a cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of
witness; and Aaron and Mariam were called; and both came forth.
12:6 And he said to them, Hear my words: If there should be of you a prophet
to Yehovah, I will be made known to him in a vision, and in sleep will I
speak to him.
12:7 My servant Moses [is] not so; he is faithful in all my house.
12:8 I will speak to him mouth to mouth apparently, and not in dark
speeches; and he has seen the glory of Yehovah; and why were ye not afraid
to speak against my servant Moses?
12:9 And the great anger of Yehovah [was] upon them, and he departed.
12:10 And the cloud departed from the tabernacle; and, behold, Mariam was
leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron looked upon Mariam, and, behold, she
[was] leprous.
12:11 And Aaron said to Moses, I beseech thee, my lord, do not lay sin upon
us, for we were ignorant wherein we sinned.
12:12 Let her not be as it were like death, as an abortion coming out of his
mother's womb, when [the disease] devours the half of the flesh.
12:13 And Moses cried to Yehovah, saying, O Elohim, I beseech thee, heal her.
12:14 And Yehovah said to Moses, If her father had only spit in her face,
would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be set apart seven days without
the camp, and afterwards she shall come in.
12:15 And Mariam was separated without the camp seven days; and the people
moved not forward till Mariam was cleansed.
12:16 And afterwards the people set forth from Aseroth, and encamped in the
wilderness of Pharan. |
12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against
Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married
an Ethiopian woman.
12:2 And they said, Hath Yehovah indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not
spoken also by us? And Yehovah heard it.
12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the
face of the earth.)
12:4 And Yehovah 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.
12:5 And Yehovah 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.
12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the
Yehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in
a dream.
12:7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark
speeches; and the similitude of Yehovah shall he behold: wherefore then
were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
12:9 And the anger of Yehovah was kindled against them; and he departed.
12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam
became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold,
she was leprous.
12:11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the
sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12:12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he
cometh out of his mother's womb.
12:13 And Moses cried unto Yehovah, saying, Heal her now, O Elohim, I beseech
thee.
12:14 And Yehovah said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face,
should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp
seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
12:15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people
journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
12:16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the
wilderness of Paran. |
