NASB — Numbers 12 — KJV

The Murmuring of Miriam and Aaron

1 Then Miriam° and Aaron° spoke° against Moses° because°° of the Cushite° woman° whom° he had married° (for he had married° a aCushite° woman°); 2 aand they said°, “Has the LORD° indeed° spoken° only°° through Moses°? Has He not spoken° through us as well°?” And the LORD° heard° it. 3 (Now the man° Moses° was avery° humble°, more° than° any° man° who° was on the face° of the earth°.) 4 Suddenly° the LORD° said° to Moses° and Aaron° and to Miriam°, “You three° come° out to the tent° of meeting°.” So the three° of them came° out. 5 aThen the LORD° came° down° in a pillar° of cloud° and stood° at the doorway° of the tent°, and He called° IAaron° and Miriam°. When they had both° come° forward°, 6 He said°,
  “Hear° now° My words°:
  If° there is a prophet° among you,
  I, the LORD°, shall make° Myself known° to him in a avision°.
  I shall speak° with him in a bdream°.
  7 “Not so°, with aMy servant° Moses°,
  bHe is faithful° in all° My household°;
  8 aWith him I speak° mouth° to mouth°,
  Even openly°, and not in dark° sayings°,
  And he beholds° bthe form° of the LORD°.
  Why° then were you not afraid°
  To speak° against My servant°, against Moses°?”

As Aaron° turned° toward° Miriam°, behold°, she [was] leprous°. 11 Then Aaron° said° to Moses°, “Oh°, my lord°, I beg° you, ado not account° [this] sin° to us, in which° we have acted° foolishly° and in which° we have sinned°. 12 Oh°, do not let her be like one dead°, whose° flesh° is half° eaten° away when he comes° from his mother’s° womb°!” 13 Moses° cried° out to the LORD°, saying°, “O God°, aheal° her, I pray°!” 14 But the LORD° said° to Moses°, “If her father° had but aspit° in her face°, would she not bear° her shame° for seven° days°?

God rebuketh the sedition of Miriam and Aaron.

1 ¶ And Miriamº and Aaronº spakeºª against Mosesº because²² of¹ the Ethiopianº womanº whom² he had married:ºª for² he had marriedºª an Ethiopianº woman.º 2 And they said,ºª Hath the LORDº indeed² spokenºª only² by Moses?º hath he not² spokenºª also² by us? And the LORDº heardºª [it]. 3 (Now the manº Mosesº [was] veryº meek,ºª above all²² the menº which² [were] upon² the faceº of the earth.)º 4 And the LORDº spakeºª suddenlyº unto² Moses,º and unto² Aaron,º and unto² Miriam,º Come outºª ye threeº unto² the tabernacleº of the congregation.º And they threeº came out.ºª 5 And the LORDº came downºª in the pillarº of the cloud,º and stoodºª [in] the doorº of the tabernacle,º and calledºª Aaronº and Miriam:º and they bothº came forth.ºª 6 And he said,ºª Hearºª now² my words:º If² there be² a prophetº among you, [I] the LORDº will make myself knownºª unto² him in a vision,º [and] will speakºª unto him in a dream.º 7 My servantº Mosesº [is] not² so,² who² [is] faithfulºª in all² mine house.º 8 With him will I speakºª mouthº to² mouth,º even apparently,º and not² in dark speeches;º and the similitudeº of the LORDº shall he behold:ºª wherefore² then were ye not afraidºª² to speakºª against my servantº Moses?º 9 And the angerº of the LORDº was kindledºª against them; and he departed.¹ª²
