Numbers 12:9-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

9. The Lord was angry with them, so he left.

10. When the smoke left the tent, Miriam was covered with an infectious skin disease. She was as white as snow. Aaron turned to her and saw she was covered with the disease.

11. So he said to Moses, “Please, sir, don’t punish us for this foolish sin we committed.

12. Don’t let her be like a stillborn baby that’s not completely developed.”

13. So Moses cried to the Lord, “Please, God, heal her!”

14. The Lord replied to Moses, “If her own father had spit in her face, wouldn’t she be excluded from the community for seven days? She must be put in isolation outside the camp for seven days. Then she can be brought back.”

15. So Miriam was put in isolation outside the camp for seven days. The people didn’t break camp until she was brought back.
