1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.2 And they said, Has Jehovah indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also? And Jehovah heard it.3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, more than any man on the face of the earth.)4 And Jehovah suddenly said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting! And the three came out.5 And Jehovah came down in the pillar of the cloud and stood in the door of the tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam; and they both went forward.6 And He said, Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, Jehovah, reveal Myself to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.7 Not so with My servant Moses! He is faithful in all My house.8 I speak with him mouth to mouth, even by appearance, and not in riddles; and he looks upon the form of Jehovah. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?9 And the anger of Jehovah burned against them, and He departed.10 And when the cloud departed from above the tent, behold Miriam was leprous as snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she had leprosy.11 And Aaron said to Moses, Oh my lord I beseech you! Do not lay this sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.12 I beseech you, do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mothers womb!13 And Moses cried out to Jehovah, saying, Please heal her, O Mighty God, I pray!14 And Jehovah said to Moses, If her father had but spat in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she shall be brought in.15 And Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in.16 And afterward the people set out from Hazeroth and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
1 And Marie spak and Aaron ayens Moises, for his wijf a womman of Ethiope,2 and seiden, Whethir God spak oneli by Moises? whethir he spak not also to vs in lijk maner? And whanne the Lord hadde herd this, he was wrooth greetli;3 for Moises was the myldest man, ouer alle men that dwelliden in erthe.4 And anoon the Lord spak to Moises and to Aaron and to Marye, Go out ye thre aloone to the tabernacle of boond of pees. And whanne thei weren gon yn,5 the Lord cam doun in a piler of cloude, and he stood in the entryng of the tabernacle, and clepide Aaron and Marie.6 And whanne thei hadden go, he seide to hem, Here ye my wordis; if ony among you is a profete of the Lord, Y schal appere to hym in reuelacioun, ethir Y schal speke to hym bi `a dreem.7 And he seide, And my seruaunt Moises is not siche, which is moost feithful in al myn hows;8 for Y speke to hym mouth to mouth, and he seeth God opynli, and not bi derke spechis and figuris. Why therfor dredden ye not to bacbite `ether depraue my seruaunt Moises?9 And the Lord was wrooth ayens hem, and he wente a wei.10 And the cloude yede awei, that was on the tabernacle and lo! Marie apperide whijt with lepre as snow. And whanne Aaron biheelde hir, and siy hir bispreynd with lepre,11 he seide to Moises, My lord, Y beseche, putte thou not this synne on vs,12 which we diden folili, that this womman be not maad as deed, and as a deed borun thing which is cast out of the `wombe of his modir; lo! now the half of hir fleisch is deuourid with lepre.13 And Moises criede to the Lord, and seide, Lord, Y biseche, heele thou hir.14 To whom the Lord answerid, If hir fadir hadde spet in to hir face, where sche ouyte not to be fillid with schame, nameli in seuene daies? Therfor be sche departid out of the tentis bi seuen daies, and aftirward sche schal be clepid ayen.15 And so Marie was excludid out of the tentis bi seuene daies; and the puple was not mouyd fro that place, til Marie was clepid ayen.
