Numbers 12
The Complaints of Miriam and Aaron
1While they were at Hazeroth, Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because he had married a Cushite woman.
4So immediately the Lord called to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam and said, “Go out to the Tabernacle,*12:4 Hebrew the Tent of Meeting. all three of you!” So the three of them went to the Tabernacle.
“If there were prophets among you,
I, the Lord, would reveal myself in visions.
I would speak to them in dreams.
7But not with my servant Moses.
Of all my house, he is the one I trust.
8I speak to him face to face,
clearly, and not in riddles!
He sees the Lord as he is.
So why were you not afraid
to criticize my servant Moses?”
9The Lord was very angry with them, and he departed.
13So Moses cried out to the Lord, “O God, I beg you, please heal her!”
14But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had done nothing more than spit in her face, wouldn’t she be defiled for seven days? So keep her outside the camp for seven days, and after that she may be accepted back.”
15So Miriam was kept outside the camp for seven days, and the people waited until she was brought back before they traveled again.
