Miriam and Aaron Oppose Moses

\n

1 Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.\xa02 \u201cHas the\xa0Lord\xa0spoken only through Moses?\u201d they asked. \u201cHasn\u2019t he also spoken through us?\u201d And the\xa0Lord\xa0heard this.

\n

3 (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.) 4 At once the\xa0Lord\xa0said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, \u201cCome out to the tent of meeting, all three of you.\u201d So the three of them went out.\xa0

\n

5 Then the\xa0Lord\xa0came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them stepped forward,\xa06 he said, \u201cListen to my words:

\n

\u201cWhen there is a prophet among you, I, the\xa0Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. 7 But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.8 With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the\xa0Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?\u201d

\n

9 The anger of the\xa0Lord\xa0burned against them, and he left them. 10 When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam\u2019s skin was leprous\u2014it became as white as snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease,\xa011 and he said to Moses, \u201cPlease, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed.\xa012 Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother\u2019s womb with its flesh half eaten away.\u201d

\n

13 So Moses cried out to the\xa0Lord, \u201cPlease, God, heal her!\u201d 14 The\xa0Lord\xa0replied to Moses, \u201cIf her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that she can be brought back.\u201d\xa015 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back. 16 After that, the people left Hazeroth and encamped in the Desert of Paran.
