1 Mutta Mirjam ja Aaron parjasivat Moosesta etiopialaisen naisen tähden, jonka hän oli ottanut vaimokseen; sillä hän oli ottanut vaimokseen etiopialaisen naisen.

3 Mutta Mooses oli sangen nöyrä mies, nöyrempi kuin kukaan muu ihminen maan päällä.

5 Silloin Herra astui alas pilvenpatsaassa, asettui majan ovelle ja kutsui Aaronia ja Mirjamia; molemmat menivät sinne.

7 Niin ei ole minun palvelijani Mooses, hän on uskollinen koko minun talossani;

9 Ja Herran viha syttyi heitä kohtaan, ja hän meni pois.

10 Kun pilvi oli poistunut majan päältä, niin katso, Mirjam oli lumivalkea pitalista; ja Aaron kääntyi Mirjamiin päin, ja katso, tämä oli pitalinen.

15 Niin Mirjam oli suljettuna ulos leiristä seitsemän päivää, eikä kansa lähtenyt liikkeelle, ennenkuin Mirjam oli tuotu takaisin.

16 (H13:1) Sen jälkeen kansa lähti liikkeelle Haserotista ja leiriytyi Paaranin erämaahan.

1 And Miriam speaketh -- Aaron also -- against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken: for a Cushite woman he had taken;

2 and they say, `Only by Moses hath Jehovah spoken? also by us hath he not spoken?` and Jehovah heareth.

3 And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the men who [are] on the face of the ground.

4 And Jehovah saith suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, `Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting;` and they three come out.

5 And Jehovah cometh down in the pillar of the cloud, and standeth at the opening of the tent, and calleth Aaron and Miriam, and they come out both of them.

6 And He saith, `Hear, I pray you, My words: If your prophet is of Jehovah -- in an appearance unto him I make Myself known; in a dream I speak with him;

7 not so My servant Moses; in all My house he [is] stedfast;

8 mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant -- against Moses?`

9 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against them, and He goeth on,

10 and the cloud hath turned aside from off the tent, and lo, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turneth unto Miriam, and lo, leprous!

11 And Aaron saith unto Moses, `O, my lord, I pray thee, lay not upon us sin [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned;

12 let her not, I pray thee, 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 crieth unto Jehovah, saying, `O God, I pray Thee, give, I pray Thee, healing to her.`

14 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `And her father had but spat in her face -- is she not ashamed seven days? she is shut out seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterwards she is gathered.`

15 And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp seven days, and the people hath not journeyed till Miriam is gathered;

16 and afterwards have the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
