Numbers Chapter 12 (NKJV Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ Then [1†]Miriam and Aaron spoke [2†]against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for [3†]he had married an Ethiopian woman.

² So they said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only through [4†]Moses? [5†]Has He not spoken through us also?” And the LORD [6†]heard it.

³ (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)

⁴ [7†]Suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out.

⁵ [8†]Then the LORD came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward.

⁶ Then He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him [9†]in a vision; I speak to him [10†]in a dream.

⁷ Not so with [11†]My servant Moses; [12†]He is faithful in all [13†]My house.

⁸ I speak with him [14†]face to face, Even [15†]plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees [16†]the form of the LORD. Why then [17†]were you not afraid To speak against My servant Moses?”

⁹ So the anger of the LORD was aroused against them, and He departed.

¹⁰ And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, [18†]suddenly Miriam became [19†]leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper.

¹¹ So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please [20†]do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.

¹² Please [21†]do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”

¹³ So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, “Please [22†]heal her, O God, I pray!”

¹⁴ Then the LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but [23†]spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be [24†]shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again.”

¹⁵ [25†]So Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in again.

¹⁶ And afterward the people moved from [26†]Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
