Numbers 12:8-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. I will speak to him mouth to mouth, in clearness, not in riddles; and he will look at the form of Yahweh. Why were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”

9. And Yahweh became very angry with them, and he went away.

10. And the cloud departed from on the tent, and behold, Miriam was infected with a skin disease white like snow; when Aaron turned toward Miriam, behold, she was afflicted with a skin disease.

11. So Aaron said to Moses, “Please, my lord, please do not put on us this sin in which we were foolish and in which we have sinned.

12. Please do not let her be like the dead, whose flesh is half consumed when coming out from the womb of its mother.”

13. And Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “God, please heal her!”

14. But Yahweh said to Moses, “If her father had surely spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be confined for seven days to an outside place of the camp, and afterward she may be gathered.”

15. So Miriam was confined to the outside place of the camp seven days, and the people did not set out until Miriam was gathered.

16. And afterward the people set out from Hazeroth, and they encamped in the desert of Paran.
