Numbers 12:9-16 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9. The Lord’s anger burned against them, and He left.

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

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

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

13. Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “God, please heal her! ”

14. The 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.”

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

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