¹ And Miriam speaks—Aaron also—against 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 servant—against 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 mother—the 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 face—is 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.
