Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
111 Praise ye the Lord! I will praise the Lord with my whole heart in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out by all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness endureth for ever.
4 He hath made His wonderful works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
6 He hath shown His people the power of His works, that He may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of His hands are verity and judgment; all His commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; holy and reverend is His name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do His commandments. His praise endureth for ever!
12 And Miriam and Aaron spoke 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 who were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And the Lord spoke suddenly unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto Miriam: “Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation.” And the 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 plainly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold. Why 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.
12 And it came to pass when He was in a certain city, behold, a man full of leprosy, seeing Jesus, fell on his face and besought Him, saying, “Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.”
13 And He put forth His hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be thou clean.” And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 And He charged him to tell no man, but, “Go and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses commanded, as a testimony unto them.”
15 But so much the more His fame spread abroad, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
16 And He withdrew Himself into the wilderness and prayed.
