b'NUMBERS 12:1-15 1Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.2 \\u201cHas the LORD spoken only through Moses?\\u201d they asked. \\u201cHasn\\u2019t he also spoken through us?\\u201d And the LORD heard this.3 (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)4 At once the LORD said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, \\u201cCome out to the tent of meeting, all three of you.\\u201d So the three of them went out. 5 Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them stepped forward, 6 he said, \\u201cListen to my words:\\u201cWhen there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, reveal myself to him in visions, I speak to him 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 LORD.Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?\\u201d9 The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them.10 When the cloud lifted from above the tent, there stood Miriam\\u2014leprous, like snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had leprosy; 11 and he said to Moses, \\u201cPlease, my lord, do not hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed. 12 Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother\\u2019s womb with its flesh half eaten away.\\u201d13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, \\u201cO God, please heal her!\\u201d14 The LORD replied 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 15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back.'
