Quejas de Miriam y de Aarón
12 Moisés había tomado por esposa a una mujer cusita, así que Miriam y Aarón empezaron a murmurar contra él por causa de ella. 2 Decían: «¿Acaso solo por medio de Moisés ha hablado el Señor? ¿No ha hablado también por medio de nosotros?». Y el Señor oyó sus murmuraciones.
3 Moisés era muy humilde, más humilde que cualquier otro sobre la tierra.
4 De pronto, el Señor dijo a Moisés, Aarón y a Miriam: «Salgan los tres de la Tienda de reunión». Y los tres salieron. 5 Entonces el Señor descendió en una columna de nube y se detuvo a la entrada de la Tienda. Llamó a Aarón y a Miriam y, cuando ambos se acercaron, 6 el Señor dijo: «Escuchen lo que voy a decirles:
»Cuando un profeta del Señor se levanta entre ustedes,
yo le hablo en visiones
y me revelo a él en sueños.
7 Pero esto no ocurre así con mi siervo Moisés,
porque en toda mi casa él es de mi confianza.
8 Con él hablo cara a cara,
claramente y sin enigmas.
Él contempla la imagen del Señor.
¿Cómo no tienen miedo de murmurar
contra mi siervo Moisés?».
9 Entonces la ira del Señor se encendió contra ellos y el Señor se marchó.
10 Tan pronto como la nube se apartó de la Tienda, a Miriam se le puso la piel blanca como la nieve. Cuando Aarón se volvió hacia ella, vio que tenía una enfermedad infecciosa. 11 Entonces dijo a Moisés: «Te suplico, mi señor, que no nos tomes en cuenta este pecado que hemos cometido tan neciamente. 12 No la dejes como un abortivo, que sale del vientre de su madre con el cuerpo medio deshecho».
Moisés intercede por Miriam
13 Moisés rogó al Señor: «¡Oh Dios, te ruego que la sanes!».
14 El Señor respondió a Moisés: «Si su padre le hubiera escupido el rostro, ¿no habría durado su humillación siete días? Que sea aislada por siete días fuera del campamento y después de eso será readmitida».
15 Así que Miriam quedó aislada siete días fuera del campamento. El pueblo no se puso en marcha hasta que ella se reintegró.
16 Después el pueblo partió de Jazerot y acampó en el desierto de Parán.

Numbers 12
1599 Geneva Bible
12 1 Aaron and Miriam grudge against Moses. 10 Miriam is stricken with leprosy, and healed at the prayer of Moses.
1 Afterward Miriam and Aaron [a]spake against Moses, because of the woman of Ethiopia whom he had married (for he had married [b]a woman of Ethiopia.)
2 And they said, What? hath the Lord spoken but only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? and the Lord heard this.
3 (But Moses was a very [c]meek man above all the men that were upon the earth.)
4 And by and by the Lord said unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, come out ye three unto the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and they three came forth.
5 Then the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the Tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forth.
6 And he said, Hear now my words, If there be a Prophet of the Lord among you, I will be known to him by a [d]vision, and will speak unto him by dream.
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful [e]in all mine house,
8 Unto him will I speak (A)mouth to mouth, and by vision, and not in dark words, but he shall [f]see the similitude of the Lord. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, even against Moses?
9 Thus the Lord was very angry with them, and departed.
10 Also the cloud departed from the [g]Tabernacle: and behold, Miriam was leprous like snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.
11 Then Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, which we have foolishly committed, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Let her not, I pray thee, be as one [h]dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed, when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.
13 Then Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, O God, I beseech thee, heal her now.
14 ¶ And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had [i]spit in her face, should she not have been ashamed seven days? let her be (B)shut out of the host seven days, and after she shall be received.
15 So Miriam was shut out of the host seven days, and the people removed not, till Miriam was brought in again.
