1Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman.2And they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it. (Nu 11:1; 2Ki 19:4; Isa 37:4; Eze 35:12; Mic 6:4; Mal 3:16)3Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth.4And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” And the three of them came out.5And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. (Nu 11:25; Nu 16:19)6And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. (Ge 20:6; Ge 31:10; Ge 46:2; 1Ki 3:5; Job 33:15; Eze 1:1; Da 8:2; Da 10:8; Da 10:16; Mt 1:20; Mt 27:19; Lu 1:11; Lu 1:22; Ac 10:11; Ac 22:17)7Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. (Ps 105:26; Heb 3:2; Heb 3:5)8With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” (Ex 33:11; Ex 33:20; Ex 33:23; Nu 7:89; De 34:10; Ps 49:4; Ps 78:2; Pr 1:6; 1Co 13:12)9And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he departed.10When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous,[1] like snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. (Le 13:10; De 24:9)11And Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, do not punish us[2] because we have done foolishly and have sinned. (2Sa 19:19; 2Sa 24:10; Pr 30:32)12Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”13And Moses cried to the Lord, “O God, please heal her—please.”14But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again.” (Le 13:46; De 25:9; Job 30:10)15So Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days, and the people did not set out on the march till Miriam was brought in again. (2Ki 15:5; 2Ch 26:20; Lu 17:12)16After that the people set out from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran. (Nu 10:12; Nu 11:35; Nu 33:18)
1Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.2‘Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?’ they asked. ‘Hasn’t he also spoken through us?’ And the Lord heard this.3(Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)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 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 my words: ‘When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.7But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.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 anger of the Lord burned against them, and he left them.10When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam’s skin was leprous[1] – it became as white as snow. Aaron turned towards her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease,11and he said to Moses, ‘Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed.12Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother’s womb with its flesh half eaten away.’13So Moses cried out to the Lord, ‘Please, God, heal her!’14The Lord replied to Moses, ‘If her father had spat 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 till she was brought back.16After that, the people left Hazeroth and camped in the Desert of Paran.
1Miriam and Aaron began to say bad things about Moses. That’s because Moses had married a woman from Cush.2‘Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?’ they asked. ‘Hasn’t he also spoken through us?’ The LORD heard what they said.3Moses was a very humble man. In fact, he was more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.4The LORD spoke to Moses, Aaron and Miriam. He said, ‘All three of you, come out to the tent of meeting.’ So they did.5Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud. He stood at the entrance to the tent. And he told Aaron and Miriam to come to him. The two of them stepped forward.6Then the LORD said, ‘Listen to my words. ‘Suppose there is a prophet among you. I, the LORD, make myself known to them in visions. I speak to them in dreams.7But this is not true of my servant Moses. He is faithful in everything he does in my house.8With Moses I speak face to face. I speak with him clearly. I do not speak in riddles. I let him see something of what I look like. So why were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?’9The LORD was very angry with them. And he left them.10When the cloud went up from above the tent, there stood Miriam. She had a disease that made her skin as white as snow. Aaron turned towards her. He saw that she had a skin disease.11So he said to Moses, ‘We have committed a very foolish sin. Please don’t hold it against us.12Don’t let Miriam be like a baby that was born dead. Don’t let her look like a dead baby whose body is half eaten away.’13So Moses cried out to the LORD. He said, ‘Please, God, heal her!’14The LORD answered Moses. He said, ‘Suppose her father had spat in her face. Then she would have been put to shame for seven days. So keep her outside the camp for seven days. After that, you can bring her back.’15So Miriam was kept outside the camp for seven days. The people didn’t move on until she was brought back.16After that, the people left Hazeroth. They camped in the Desert of Paran.
Numbers 12
King James Version
1And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.2And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it .3(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)4And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.5And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.6And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.7My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.8With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?9And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.10And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.11And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.12Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother' womb.13And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.14And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again .15And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again .16And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
1Als sie in Hazerot waren, redeten Mirjam und Aaron gegen Mose wegen der kuschitischen Frau, die er sich genommen hatte. Er hatte sich nämlich eine Kuschiterin zur Frau genommen.2Sie sagten: Hat der HERR etwa nur durch Mose gesprochen? Hat er nicht auch durch uns gesprochen? Das hörte der HERR. (Mic 6:4)3Mose aber war ein sehr demütiger Mann, demütiger als alle Menschen auf der Erde.4Da sprach der HERR plötzlich zu Mose, Aaron und Mirjam: Geht ihr drei hinaus zum Offenbarungszelt! Da gingen die drei hinaus.5Der HERR kam in der Wolkensäule herab, blieb am Zelteingang stehen und rief Aaron und Mirjam. Beide traten vor6und der HERR sprach: Hört meine Worte! Wenn es bei euch einen Propheten gibt, so gebe ich mich ihm in einer Vision als der HERR zu erkennen, im Traum rede ich mit ihm. (Ex 33:11; De 34:10)7Anders bei meinem Knecht Mose. Mein ganzes Haus ist ihm anvertraut. (Heb 3:2)8Von Mund zu Mund rede ich mit ihm, in einer Vision, nicht in Rätseln. Die Gestalt des HERRN darf er sehen. Warum habt ihr euch nicht gefürchtet, gegen meinen Knecht, gegen Mose, zu reden? (Ex 4:16; Ex 33:18)9Da entbrannte der Zorn des HERRN gegen sie und er ging weg.10Als die Wolke vom Zelt gewichen war, siehe, da war Mirjam weiß wie Schnee vor Aussatz. Aaron wandte sich Mirjam zu und siehe, sie war aussätzig. (Ex 4:6; Le 13:13; De 24:9)11Da sagte Aaron zu Mose: Mein Herr, ich bitte dich, lege uns die Sünde nicht zur Last, mit der wir töricht gehandelt haben und mit der wir uns versündigt haben!12Mirjam soll nicht wie eine Totgeburt sein, halb verwest, wenn sie den Schoß der Mutter verlässt. (Job 3:16; Ec 6:3)13Da schrie Mose zum HERRN: O Gott, heile sie doch! (Ex 15:26)14Der HERR antwortete Mose: Wenn ihr Vater ihr ins Gesicht gespuckt hätte, müsste sie sich dann nicht sieben Tage lang schämen? Sie soll sieben Tage lang aus dem Lager ausgesperrt sein; erst dann soll man sie wieder hereinlassen.15So wurde Mirjam sieben Tage aus dem Lager ausgesperrt. Das Volk brach nicht auf, bis man Mirjam wieder hereinließ.16Danach brach das Volk von Hazerot auf und schlug sein Lager in der Wüste Paran auf.
