Numbers 12

1And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

1And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had taken; for he had taken a Cushite as wife.

1And Mary and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife the Ethiopian,

2And they said, Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it.

2And they said, Has Jehovah indeed spoken only to Moses? has he not spoken also to us? And Jehovah heard it.

2And they said: Hath the Lord spoken by Moses only? Hath he not also spoken to us in like manner? And when the Lord heard this,

3Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth.

3But the man Moses was very meek, above all men that were upon the face of the earth.

3(For Moses was a man exceeding meek above all men that dwelt upon earth)

4And Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three came out.

4Then Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they went out, they three.

4Immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Mary: Come out you three only to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when they were come out,

5And Jehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

5And Jehovah came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

5The Lord came down in a pillar of the cloud, and stood in the entry of the tabernacle calling to Aaron and Mary. And when they were come,

6And he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream.

6And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak to him in a dream.

6He said to them: Hear my words: if there be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him in a dream.

7My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:

7Not so my servant Moses: he is faithful in all my house.

7But it is not so with my servant Moses who is most faithful in all my house:

8with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

8Mouth to mouth do I speak to him openly, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah doth he behold. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

8For I speak to him mouth to mouth: and plainly, and not by riddles and figures doth he see the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak ill of my servant Moses?

9And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he departed.

9And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he went away;

9And being angry with them he went away:

10And the cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

10and the cloud departed from off the tent. And behold, Miriam was leprous as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

10The cloud also that was over the tabernacle departed: and behold Mary appeared white as snow with a leprosy. And when Aaron had looked on her, and saw her all covered with leprosy,

11And Aaron said unto Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.

11Then Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not this sin upon us, wherein we have been foolish, and have sinned!

11He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed:

12Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.

12Let her not be as one stillborn, half of whose flesh is consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.

12Let her not be as one dead, and as an abortive that is cast forth from the mother's womb. Lo, now one half of her flesh is consumed with the leprosy.

13And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee.

13And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, OGod, heal her, I beseech thee!

13And Moses cried to the Lord, saying O God, I beseech thee heal her.

14And Jehovah said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.

14And Jehovah said to Moses, But had her father anyways spat in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? She shall be shut outside the camp seven days, and afterwards she shall be received in [again].

14And the Lord answered him: If her father had spitten upon her face, ought she not to have been ashamed for seven days at least? Let her be separated seven days without the camp, and afterwards she shall be called again.

15And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

15And Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days; and the people did not journey till Miriam was received in [again].

15Mary therefore was put out of the camp seven days: and the people moved not from that place until Mary was called again.

16And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

16And afterwards the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
