1Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he married (for he had married a Cushite woman).

1Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.

2They said, "Does the LORD speak only through Moses? Does he not also speak through us?" And the LORD heard it.

2"Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" And the LORD heard this.

3Moses was a very humble man, more so than anyone on the face of the earth.

3(Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)

4Suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, "You three come out to the tent of meeting." So the three of them went out.

4At once the LORD said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, "Come out to the tent of meeting, all three of you." So the three of them went out.

5Then the LORD descended in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them came forward,

5Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them stepped forward,

6he said: "Listen to what I say: If there is a prophet among you from the LORD, I make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream.

6he said, "Listen to my words: "When there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.

7Not so with my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my household.

7But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.

8I speak with him directly, openly, and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. So why were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

8With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

9The LORD's anger burned against them, and he left.

9The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them.

10As the cloud moved away from the tent, Miriam's skin suddenly became diseased, resembling snow. When Aaron turned toward her, he saw that she was diseased

10When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam's skin was leprous --it became as white as snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease,

11and said to Moses, "My lord, please don't hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.

11and he said to Moses, "Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed.

12Please don't let her be like a dead baby whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother's womb."

12Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother's womb with its flesh half eaten away."

13Then Moses cried out to the LORD, "God, please heal her!"

13So Moses cried out to the LORD, "Please, God, heal her!"

14The LORD answered Moses, "If her father had merely spit in her face, wouldn't she remain in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in."

14The LORD replied to Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that she can be brought back."

15So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was brought back in.

15So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back.

16After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.

16After that, the people left Hazeroth and encamped in the Desert of Paran.
