Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 12 -

1
And Miriam speaks—Aaron alsoagainst Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, for he had taken a Cushite woman;
2
and they say, “Has YHWH only spoken by Moses? Has he not also spoken by us?” And YHWH hears.
3
And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the men who [are] on the face of the ground.
4
And YHWH suddenly says to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the Tent of Meeting”; and those three come out.
5
And YHWH comes down in the pillar of the cloud, and stands at the opening of the tent, and calls Aaron and Miriam, and both of them come out.
6
And He says, “Now hear My words: If your prophet is of YHWH, || I make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream.
7
Not so My servant Moses; He [is] steadfast in all My house.
8
I speak with him mouth to mouth, || Even [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; And he beholds the form of YHWH attentively. Now why have you not been afraid || To speak against My servantagainst Moses?”
9
And the anger of YHWH burns against them, and He goes on,
10
and the cloud has turned aside from off the tent, and behold, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turns to Miriam, and behold, leprous!
11
And Aaron says to Moses, “O my lord, please do not lay [this] sin on us [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned;
12
please do not let her be as [one] dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his motherthe half of his flesh is consumed.”
13
And Moses cries to YHWH, saying, “O God, please give healing to her! Please!”
14
And YHWH says to Moses, “But [if] her father had but spat in her faceis she not ashamed [for] seven days? She is shut out [for] seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterward she is gathered.”
15
And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp [for] seven days, and the people have not journeyed until Miriam is gathered;
16
and afterward the people have journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
1
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
2
They said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn’t he spoken also with us?” And the LORD heard it.
3
Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.
4
The LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.
5
The LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.
6
He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.
7
My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.
8
With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see the LORD’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
9
The LORD’s anger burned against them; and he departed.
10
The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.
11
Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.
12
Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
13
Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”
14
The LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn’t she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.”
15
Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in again.
16
Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
