Numbers 12:4-11

⁴And the Lord said suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Go out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation; and these three went out.

⁵And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.

⁶And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet of your kind, I, the Lord, do make myself known unto him in a vision, in a dream do I speak with him.

⁷Not so is my servant Moses, in all my house is he faithful.

⁸Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord doth he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

⁹And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he went away.

¹⁰And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

¹¹Then said Aaron unto Moses, Alas, my Lord, do not, I beseech thee, account to us as sin that wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
