⁹ Remember what the Lord your God did to ^(A)Miriam ^(B)on the way as you came out of Egypt.

¹⁰ When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, ^(A)Miriam was ^(B)leprous,^[a] like snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. ¹¹ And Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, ^(C)do not punish us^[b] because we have done foolishly and have sinned. ¹² Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother's womb.” ¹³ And Moses cried to the Lord, “O God, please heal her—please.” ¹⁴ But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but ^(D)spit in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? Let her be ^(E)shut outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again.” ¹⁵ So Miriam ^(F)was shut outside the camp seven days, and the people did not set out on the march till Miriam was brought in again.

¹¹ Now these things happened to them as an example, but ^(A)they were written down for our instruction, ^(B)on whom the end of the ages has come.

⁶ Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as ^(A)they did.

²⁰ And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead! And they rushed him out quickly, and he himself hurried to go out, because the Lord had struck him. ^21 (A)And King Uzziah was a leper to the day of his death, and being a leper lived ^(B)in a separate house, for he was excluded from the house of the Lord. And Jotham his son was over the king's household, governing the people of the land.

The Syrians Flee

³ Now there were four men who were lepers^{[a] (A)}at the entrance to the gate. And they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?

² “Command the people of Israel that they ^(A)put out of the camp everyone who is leprous^[a] or has ^(B)a discharge and everyone who is ^(C)unclean through contact with the dead.
