Book 04 : TORAH - BAMIDBAR (NUMBERS) - Chapter 012
12:001
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the
Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman
12:002
And they said: 'Hath HaShem indeed spoken only with Moses?
hath He not spoken also with us?' And HaShem heard it.-
12:003
Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that
were upon the face of the earth.-
12:004
And HaShem spoke suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and
unto Miriam: 'Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting.' And they three came
out
12:005
And HaShem 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
12:006
And He said: 'Hear now My words: if there be a prophet
among you, I HaShem do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with
him in a dream
12:007
My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house
12:008
with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and
not in dark speeches; and the similitude of HaShem doth he behold; wherefore
then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?
12:009
And the anger of HaShem was kindled against them; and He
departed
12:010
And when the cloud was removed from over the Tent, behold,
Miriam was leprous, as white as snow; and Aaron looked upon Miriam; and, behold,
she was leprous
12:011
And 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
12:012
Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is
half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
12:013
And Moses cried unto HaShem, saying: 'Heal her now, O G-d,
I beseech Thee.
12:014
And HaShem said unto Moses: 'If her father had but spit in
her face, should she not hide in shame seven days? let her be shut up without
the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.
12:015
And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days; and
the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again
12:016
And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and
pitched in the wilderness of Paran
