Numbers 12 (WEBP)
[1] Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
[2] They said, “Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn’t he spoken also with us?” And Yahweh heard it.
[3] Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.
[4] Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.
[5] Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.
[6] He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, Yahweh, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.
[7] My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.
[8] With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see Yahweh’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
[9] Yahweh’s anger burned against them; and he departed.
[10] The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.
[11] Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.
[12] Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
[13] Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”
[14] Yahweh said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn’t she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.”
[15] Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in again.
[16] Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

Numbers 12 (KJVS)
[1] And Miriam H4813 and Aaron H175 spake H1696 (PielImpf) against Moses H4872 because of H182 the Ethiopian§ H3571 woman H802 whom he had married:§ H3947 (QalPerf) for he had married H3947 (QalPerf) an Ethiopian H3571 woman. H802
[2] And they said, H559 (QalImpf) Hath the Lord H3068 indeed spoken H1696 (PielPerf) only by Moses? H4872 hath he not spoken H1696 (PielPerf) also by us? And the Lord H3068 heard H8085 (QalImpf) it.
[3] (Now the man H376 Moses H4872 was very H3966 meek, H6035 (Qere) H6035 above all the men H120 which were upon the face H6440 of the earth.) H127
[4] And the Lord H3068 spake H559 (QalImpf) suddenly H6597 unto Moses, H4872 and unto Aaron, H175 and unto Miriam, H4813 Come out H3318 (QalImpv) ye three H7969 unto the tabernacle H168 of the congregation. H4150 And they three H7969 came out. H3318 (QalImpf)
[5] And the Lord H3068 came down H3381 (QalImpf) in the pillar H5982 of the cloud, H6051 and stood H5975 (QalImpf) in the door H6607 of the tabernacle, H168 and called H7121 (QalImpf) Aaron H175 and Miriam: H4813 and they both H8147 came forth. H3318 (QalImpf)
[6] And he said, H559 (QalImpf) Hear H8085 (QalImpv) now my words: H1697 If there be a prophet H5030 among you, I the Lord H3068 will make myself known H3045 (HithImpf) unto him in a vision, H4759 and will speak H1696 (PielImpf) unto him in a dream. H2472
[7] My servant H5650 Moses H4872 is not so, who is faithful H539 (NiphPtc) in all mine house. H1004
[8] With him will I speak H1696 (PielImpf) mouth H6310 to mouth, H6310 even apparently, H4758 and not in dark speeches; H2420 and the similitude H8544 of the Lord H3068 shall he behold: H5027 (HiphImpf) wherefore then were ye not afraid H3372 (QalPerf) to speak H1696 (PielInf) against my servant H5650 Moses? H4872
[9] And the anger H639 of the Lord H3068 was kindled H2734 (QalImpf) against them; and he departed. H3212 (QalImpf)
[10] And the cloud H6051 departed H5493 (QalPerf) from off the tabernacle; H168 and, behold, Miriam H4813 became leprous, H6879 (PualPtc) white as snow: H7950 and Aaron H175 looked H6437 (QalImpf) upon Miriam, H4813 and, behold, she was leprous. H6879 (PualPtc)
[11] And Aaron H175 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 Alas, H994 my lord, H113 I beseech thee, lay H7896 (QalImpf) not the sin H2403 upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, H2973 (NiphPerf) and wherein we have sinned. H2398 (QalPerf)
[12] Let her not be as one dead, H4994 H4191 (QalPtc) of whom the flesh H1320 is half H2677 consumed H398 (NiphImpf) when he cometh out H3318 (QalInf) of his mother’s H517 womb. H7358
[13] And Moses H4872 cried H6817 (QalImpf) unto the Lord, H3068 saying, H559 (QalInf) Heal H7495 (QalImpv) her now, O God, H410 I beseech thee.
[14] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 If her father H1 had but H3417 (QalInf) spit H3417 (QalPerf) in her face, H6440 should she not be ashamed H3637 (NiphImpf) seven H7651 days? H3117 let her be shut H5462 (NiphImpf) out H2351 from the camp H4264 seven H7651 days, H3117 and after H310 that let her be received H622 (NiphImpf) in again.
[15] And Miriam H4813 was shut H5462 (NiphImpf) out H2351 from the camp H4264 seven H7651 days: H3117 and the people H5971 journeyed H5265 (QalPerf) not till Miriam H4813 was brought H622 (NiphInf) in again.
[16] And afterward H310 the people H5971 removed H5265 (QalPerf) from Hazeroth, H2698 and pitched H2583 (QalImpf) in the wilderness H4057 of Paran. H6290
