Numbers [In the desert] 12:3-14

³Now the man Moses Drawn out was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.

⁴Adonai spoke suddenly to Moses Drawn out, to Aaron Light-bringer, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.

⁵Adonai came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron Light-bringer and Miriam; and they both came forward.

⁶He 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.

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

⁸With 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?”

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

¹⁰The 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.

¹¹Aaron 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.

¹²Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”

¹³Moses Drawn out cried to Adonai , saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!” (Maftir ·Conclusion·)

¹⁴Adonai said to Moses Drawn out, “If her father had but spit in her face, should not she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.”
