Numbers 12
New King James Version
Dissension of Aaron and Miriam
12 Then (A)Miriam and Aaron [a]spoke (B)against Moses because of the [b]Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for (C)he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2 So they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through (D)Moses? (E)Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord (F)heard it. 3 (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)
4 (G)Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out. 5 (H)Then the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward. 6 Then He said,
“Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, make Myself known to him (I)in a vision;
I speak to him (J)in a dream.
7 Not so with (K)My servant Moses;
(L)He is faithful in all (M)My house.
8 I speak with him (N)face to face,
Even (O)plainly,[c] and not in [d]dark sayings;
And he sees (P)the form of the Lord.
Why then (Q)were you not afraid
To speak against My servant Moses?”
9 So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed. 10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, (R)suddenly Miriam became (S)leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper. 11 So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please (T)do not lay [e]this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned. 12 Please (U)do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”
13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please (V)heal her, O God, I pray!”
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but (W)spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be (X)shut[f] out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again.” 15 (Y)So Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in again. 16 And afterward the people moved from (Z)Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.

Nag-usap sina Miriam at Aaron Laban kay Moises
12 Sina Miriam at Aaron ay nagsalita ng laban kay Moises dahil sa babaing Cusita na kanyang pinakasalan—sapagkat siya'y nag-asawa nga ng isang babaing taga-Cus. 2 Ang sabi nila, “Sa pamamagitan lang ba ni Moises nagsasalita si Yahweh? Hindi ba't sa pamamagitan din natin?” Narinig ni Yahweh ang usapan nilang ito. 3 Si(A) Moises naman ay isang taong mapagpakumbaba higit kaninumang nabuhay sa ibabaw ng lupa.
4 Dahil dito, tinawag ni Yahweh sina Moises, Aaron at Miriam. Sinabi niya, “Magpunta kayong tatlo sa Toldang Tipanan.” At nagpunta nga sila. 5 Si Yahweh ay bumabâ sa anyo ng haliging ulap at tumayo sa pintuan ng Toldang Tipanan. Tinawag niya sina Aaron at Miriam. Paglapit nila, 6 sinabi niya, “Pakinggan ninyo ang sasabihin ko. Kung ang sinuma'y nais kong piliing propeta, nagpapakita ako sa kanya sa pangitain at kinakausap ko siya sa panaginip. 7 Ngunit(B) kaiba ang ginawa ko kay Moises sapagkat ipinagkatiwala ko sa kanya ang aking buong sambahayang Israel. 8 Kinakausap ko siya nang harap-harapan at sinasabi ko sa kanya ang lahat sa maliwanag na paraan, hindi sa pamamagitan ng talinghaga. At siya lamang ang nakakita sa aking anyo. Bakit hindi man lamang kayo natakot na magsalita laban sa kanya?” 9 Nagalit sa kanila si Yahweh, at siya'y umalis.
10 Nang mawala na ang ulap sa ibabaw ng Toldang Tipanan, si Miriam ay nagkaroon ng maputing sakit sa balat na parang ketong. Nang makita ito ni Aaron, 11 sinabi niya kay Moises, “Kapatid ko, huwag mo sana kaming parusahan dahil sa aming kamangmangan at kasamaan. 12 Huwag mong pabayaang matulad siya sa isang buháy na patay, parang ipinanganak na nabubulok ang kalahati ng katawan.” 13 Kaya, nakiusap si Moises kay Yahweh, “O Diyos, pagalingin po sana ninyo si Miriam!”
14 Ngunit(C) ang sagot ni Yahweh, “Kung siya'y duraan ng kanyang ama, hindi ba siya magtatago ng pitong araw dahil sa kahihiyan? Hayaan ninyo siya ng pitong araw sa labas ng kampo.” 15 Kaya si Miriam ay pitong araw na nasa labas ng kampo. Hindi umalis ang bansang Israel hanggang hindi nakakapasok ng kampo si Miriam. 16 Mula sa Hazerot, patuloy silang naglakbay. Pagdating sa ilang ng Paran ay nagkampo sila.
Numbers 12
King James Version
12 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2 And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it.
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.
5 And 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 among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
13 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
