Miriam and Aaron Spoke against Moses
12 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite woman. 2 They said, “Is it true that the Lord has spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it. 3 Now Moses was a man with no pride, more so than any man on the earth. 4 At once the Lord said to Moses and Aaron and Miriam, “You three come out to the meeting tent.” So the three of them came out. 5 Then the Lord came down in a cloud and stood at the door of the meeting tent, and called Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had come near, 6 the Lord said, “Now listen to Me. If there is a man who speaks for God among you, I the Lord will make Myself known to him in a special dream. I will speak with him in a dream. 7 Not so, with My servant Moses. He is faithful in all My house. 8 With him I speak face to face in ways he understands, and not in ways he does not understand. And he sees what the Lord is like. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?”
9 The Lord was angry with them, and He left. 10 When the cloud lifted from over the meeting tent, Miriam had a very bad skin disease. She was as white as snow. Aaron turned toward Miriam and saw that she had a bad skin disease. 11 Then Aaron said to Moses, “O, my lord, I beg you. Do not punish us because we have been foolish and have sinned. 12 Let her not be like one who is dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he is born!”‘ 13 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, “O God, heal her, I pray!” 14 But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had only spit in her face, would she not carry her shame for seven days? Let her be shut up for seven days away from the tents. After that, she may be brought in again.” 15 So Miriam was shut up away from the tents for seven days. And the people did not travel on until Miriam was brought in again.
16 The people moved from Hazeroth after that. And they set up their tents in the desert of Paran.

Miriam and Aaron Speak Against Moses’ Wife
12 Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses, who had married a Cushite. 2 They said to themselves, “Is Moses the only one the Lord speaks through? Doesn’t he speak through us?” And the Lord heard this.
3 (Now Moses was very humble. He was the least proud person on earth.)
4 So the Lord suddenly spoke to Moses, Aaron and Miriam. He said, “All three of you come to the Meeting Tent now.” So they went. 5 The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud. He stood at the entrance to the Tent. He called to Aaron and Miriam, and they both came near. 6 He said, “Listen to my words:
When a prophet is among you,
I, the Lord, will show myself to him in visions.
I will speak to him in dreams.
7 But this is not true with my servant Moses.
I trust him to lead all my people.
8 I speak face to face with him.
I speak clearly, not with hidden meanings.
He has even seen the form of the Lord.
You should be afraid
to speak against my servant Moses.”
9 The Lord was very angry with them, but he left.
10 The cloud lifted from the Tent. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam. She was as white as snow. She had a harmful skin disease. 11 Aaron said to Moses, “Please, my master, forgive us for our foolish sin. 12 Don’t let her be like a baby who is born dead. (Sometimes a baby is born with half of its flesh eaten away.)”
13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!”
14 The Lord answered Moses, “If her father had spit in her face, she would have been shamed for seven days. So put her outside the camp for seven days. After that, she may come back.” 15 So Miriam was shut outside of the camp for seven days. And the people did not move on until she came back.
16 After that, the people left Hazeroth. And they camped in the Desert of Paran.

A sedição de Miriã e Arão
12 E falaram Miriã e Arão contra Moisés, por causa da mulher cuxita, que tomara; porquanto tinha tomado a mulher cuxita. 2 E disseram: Porventura, falou o Senhor somente por Moisés? Não falou também por nós? E o Senhor o ouviu. 3 E era o varão Moisés mui manso, mais do que todos os homens que havia sobre a terra.
4 E logo o Senhor disse a Moisés, e a Arão, e a Miriã: Vós três saí à tenda da congregação. E saíram eles três. 5 Então, o Senhor desceu na coluna de nuvem e se pôs à porta da tenda; depois, chamou a Arão e a Miriã, e eles saíram ambos. 6 E disse: Ouvi agora as minhas palavras; se entre vós houver profeta, eu, o Senhor, em visão a ele me farei conhecer ou em sonhos falarei com ele. 7 Não é assim com o meu servo Moisés, que é fiel em toda a minha casa. 8 Boca a boca falo com ele, e de vista, e não por figuras; pois, ele vê a semelhança do Senhor; por que, pois, não tivestes temor de falar contra o meu servo, contra Moisés?
9 Assim, a ira do Senhor contra eles se acendeu; e foi-se. 10 E a nuvem se desviou de sobre a tenda; e eis que Miriã era leprosa como a neve; e olhou Arão para Miriã, e eis que era leprosa. 11 Pelo que Arão disse a Moisés: Ah! Senhor meu! Ora, não ponhas sobre nós este pecado, que fizemos loucamente e com que havemos pecado! 12 Ora, não seja ela como um morto, que, saindo do ventre de sua mãe, tenha metade da sua carne já consumida. 13 Clamou, pois, Moisés ao Senhor, dizendo: Ó Deus, rogo-te que a cures. 14 E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Se seu pai cuspira em seu rosto, não seria envergonhada sete dias? Esteja fechada sete dias fora do arraial; e, depois, a recolham. 15 Assim, Miriã esteve fechada fora do arraial sete dias, e o povo não partiu, até que recolheram a Miriã. 16 Porém, depois, o povo partiu de Hazerote; e assentaram o arraial no deserto de Parã.

Miriam and Aaron Oppose Moses
12 Miriam(A) and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife,(B) for he had married a Cushite. 2 “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?”(C) And the Lord heard this.(D)
3 (Now Moses was a very humble man,(E) more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)
4 At once the Lord said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, “Come out to the tent of meeting, all three of you.” So the three of them went out. 5 Then the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud;(F) he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them stepped forward, 6 he said, “Listen to my words:
“When there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, reveal(G) myself to them in visions,(H)
I speak to them in dreams.(I)
7 But this is not true of my servant Moses;(J)
he is faithful in all my house.(K)
8 With him I speak face to face,
clearly and not in riddles;(L)
he sees the form of the Lord.(M)
Why then were you not afraid
to speak against my servant Moses?”(N)
9 The anger of the Lord burned against them,(O) and he left them.(P)
10 When the cloud lifted from above the tent,(Q) Miriam’s skin was leprous[a]—it became as white as snow.(R) Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease,(S) 11 and he said to Moses, “Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed.(T) 12 Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother’s womb with its flesh half eaten away.”
13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, “Please, God, heal her!(U)”
14 The Lord replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face,(V) would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp(W) for seven days; after that she can be brought back.” 15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp(X) for seven days,(Y) and the people did not move on till she was brought back.
16 After that, the people left Hazeroth(Z) and encamped in the Desert of Paran.(AA)
