⁶ And he said, Now give ear to my words: if there is a prophet among you I will give him knowledge of myself in a vision and will let my words come to him in a dream.

⁷ My servant Moses is not so; he is true to me in all my house:

⁸ With him I will have talk mouth to mouth, openly and not in dark sayings; and with his eyes he will see the form of the Lord: why then had you no fear of saying evil against my servant Moses?

⁹ And burning with wrath against them, the Lord went away.

¹⁰ And the cloud was moved from over the Tent; and straight away Miriam became a leper, as white as snow: and Aaron, looking at Miriam, saw that she was a leper.

¹¹ Then Aaron said to Moses, O my lord, let not our sin be on our heads, for we have done foolishly and are sinners.

⁶ And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak to him in a dream.

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

⁸ Mouth to mouth do I speak to him openly, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah doth he behold. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

⁹ And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he went away;

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

¹¹ Then Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not this sin upon us, wherein we have been foolish, and have sinned!

⁶ He said to them: Hear my words: if there be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him in a dream.

⁷ But it is not so with my servant Moses a who is most faithful in all my house:

⁸ For I speak to him mouth to mouth: and plainly, and not by riddles and figures doth he see the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak ill of my servant Moses?

⁹ And being angry with them he went away:

¹⁰ The cloud also that was over the tabernacle departed: and behold Mary appeared white as snow with a leprosy. And when Aaron had looked on her, and saw her all covered with leprosy,

¹¹ He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed:

⁶ “Now listen to my words, he told them. If you had prophets, I the Lord would reveal myself to them in visions; I would communicate with them in dreams.

⁷ But it's not like this with my servant Moses, who of all my people is the one who is faithful.

⁸ I talk to him personally, face to face. I speak plainly, not in riddles. He sees the likeness of the Lord. So why weren't you afraid when you criticized my servant Moses?”

⁹ The Lord was angry with them, and he left.

¹⁰ As the cloud rose above the Tent, Miriam's skin suddenly turned white with leprosy. Aaron turned to look and saw that she had leprosy.

¹¹ He said to Moses, “My lord, please don't punish us for this sin that we've so stupidly committed.

⁶ And hee saide, Heare nowe my wordes, If there be a Prophet of the Lord among you, I will be knowen to him by a vision, and will speake vnto him by dreame.

⁷ My seruant Moses is not so, who is faithfull in all mine house.

⁸ Vnto him will I speake mouth to mouth, and by vision, and not in darke wordes, but hee shall see the similitude of the Lord. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speake against my seruant, euen against Moses?

⁹ Thus the Lord was very angrie with them, and departed.

¹⁰ Also the cloude departed from the Tabernacle: and beholde, Miriam was leprous like snowe: and Aaron looked vpon Miriam, and beholde, she was leprous.

¹¹ Then Aaron saide vnto Moses, Alas, my Lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sinne vpon vs, which we haue foolishly committed and wherein we haue sinned.

⁶ And He said: 'Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream.

⁷ My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house;

⁸ with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, 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?'

⁹ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and He departed.

¹⁰ And when the cloud was removed from over the Tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow; and Aaron looked upon Miriam; and, behold, she was leprous.

¹¹ And Aaron said unto Moses: 'Oh my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.

⁶ And 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.

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

⁸ Mouth 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?

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

¹⁰ And 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.

¹¹ Then 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.

⁶ And he said to them, Hear my words: If there should be of you a prophet to the Lord, I will be made known to him in a vision, and in sleep will I speak to him.

⁷ My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house.

⁸ I will speak to him mouth to mouth apparently, and not in dark speeches; and he has seen the glory of the Lord; and why were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

⁹ And the great anger of the Lord was upon them, and he departed.

⁶ And He said, Hear now My words. If there be prophets with you, I the Lord will reveal Myself (to them) in visions, in dreams will I speak with them.

⁷ But not so (with) My servant Mosheh; over all My house faithful is he.

⁸ Speaker with speaker will I speak with him; in apparition, and not in similitudes; and he shall behold the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And how is this, that you have not been afraid to speak against My servant, against Mosheh?

⁹ And the displeasure of the Lord was strong against them, and He went up.

¹⁰ And the Cloud went up from over the tabernacle. And, behold, Miriam was white as snow; and Aharon looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

¹¹ And Aharon said to Mosheh, My lord, I entreat that thou wouldst not lay this sin upon us, in that we have acted foolishly, and have transgressed.

⁶ He said, “Now sh'ma ·hear obey· my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, Adonai , will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

⁷ My servant Moses Drawn out is not so. He is faithful in all my house.

⁸ With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see Adonai ’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses Drawn out?”

⁹ Adonai ’s anger burned against them; and he departed.

¹⁰ The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron Light-bringer looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

¹¹ Aaron Light-bringer said to Moses Drawn out, “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.

⁶ Yahweh said, “Now listen to my words. When a prophet of mine is with you, I will reveal myself to him in visions and speak to him in dreams.

⁷ My servant Moses is not like that. He is faithful in all my house.

⁸ I speak to Moses directly, not with visions or riddles. He sees my form. So why are you unafraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”

⁹ Yahweh's anger burned against them, and then he left them.

¹⁰ The cloud rose from over the tent, and Miriam was suddenly leprous—she was as white as snow. When Aaron turned toward Miriam, he saw that she had leprosy.

⁷ And he said, And my servant Moses is not such, the which is most faithful in all mine house;

⁸ for I speak to him mouth to mouth, and he seeth God openly, and not by dark speeches, either dark likenesses, and figures. Why therefore dreaded ye not to backbite my servant Moses?
