Chapter 12
1
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses
because
of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married.
For
he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2
And they said,
Has
Jehovah/God indeed spoken only by Moses?
Has
He not spoken also by us?
And
Jehovah/God heard it.
3
(Now the man Moses was very humble . . .
{to be humble means to be oriented to grace -
to understand how you rate if compared to God!}
above
all the men who were upon the face of the earth.)
4
And Jehovah/God spoke suddenly unto Moses,
and
unto Aaron, and unto Miriam,
Come
out you three unto the tabernacle of the congregation.
And
they three came out.
5
And Jehovah/God 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.
6
And He said, Hear now My Words.
If
there be a prophet among you,
I
Jehovah/God will make Myself known unto him in a vision,
and
will speak unto him in a dream.
7
My servant Moses . . . not so,
who
. . . faithful in all My house.
8
With him will I speak mouth to mouth,
even
apparently, and not in 'obscure speeches'/riddles
and
the similitude of Jehovah/God shall he behold.
Why
then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
9
And the anger of Jehovah/God was kindled against them;
and
He departed.
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.
11
And Aaron said unto Moses,
Alas,
my Jehovah/God, I beseech you,
lay
not the sin upon us,
wherein
we have done foolishly,
and
wherein we have sinned.
12
Let her not be as one dead,
of
whom the flesh is half consumed
when
he comes out of his mother's womb.
13
And Moses cried unto Jehovah/God, saying,
Heal
her now, O Jehovah/God, I beseech you.
14
And Jehovah/God 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.
15
And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days.
And
the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
16
And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth,
and
pitched in the desert of Paran.
