Numbers 12:8-15

⁸for 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?

⁹And the Lord was wroth against them, and he went away.

¹⁰And the cloud went away, that was on the tabernacle, and lo! Marie appeared shining with leprosy, white as snow. And when Aaron beheld her, and saw her besprinkled with leprosy,

¹¹he said to Moses, My lord, I beseech thee, put thou not this sin upon us, which we did follily,

¹²that this woman be not made as dead, and as a dead-born thing that is cast out of the mother’s womb; lo! now the half of her flesh is devoured, or over-covered, with leprosy.

¹³And Moses cried to the Lord, and said, Lord, I beseech thee, heal thou her.

¹⁴To whom the Lord answered, If her father had spit into her face, whether she ought not to be full-filled with shame, namely seven days? Therefore be she separated out of the tents by seven days, and afterward she shall be called again.

¹⁵And so Marie was excluded or put out of the tents by seven days; and the people was not moved from that place, till Marie was called again.
