Numbers 12 The sedition of Miriam and Aaron

Numbers 12
The sedition of Miriam and Aaron

1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom she had taken: because she had taken the Cushite woman.
2 And they said, Did the LORD speak only by Moses? has he not spoken also for us? And the Lord heard him.
3 And the man Moses was very meek, more than all the men that were upon the earth.
4 And the LORD said to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, 3 Go ye out to the tabernacle of the congregation. And the three of them left.
5 And the Lord went down into the pillar of the cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle: and he called Aaron and Miriam, and they departed both.
6 And he said, Hear now my words; if there be a prophet among you, I the Lord in a vision will make him known to me, or in a dream I will speak with him.
7 Not so is my servant Moses, who is faithful in all my house.
8 I speak to him by mouth, and by sight, and not by figures; for he hath seen the likeness of the LORD: why then hast thou not been afraid to speak against my servant, even against Moses?
9 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and was gone.
10 And the cloud turned from off the tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous as snow: and Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, he was leprous.
11 And Aaron said to Moses, "Ah! my lord, and do not put this sin upon us, which we have done madly, and with which we have sinned.
12 Let it not be as a dead man, that cometh out of the womb of his mother, half of his flesh already consumed.
13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, O God, I beseech thee to bury her.
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, If your father spit in your face, would you not be ashamed seven days? be shut up seven days outside the camp, and then gather it.
15 And Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people departed not until they had gathered Miriam.
16 And afterward the people departed from Hazeroth; and settled the camp in the wilderness of Paran.
