10. As the cloud moved from above the Tabernacle, there stood Miriam, her skin as white as snow from leprosy. When Aaron saw what had happened to her,
11. he cried out to Moses, “Oh, my master! Please don’t punish us for this sin we have so foolishly committed.
12. Don’t let her be like a stillborn baby, already decayed at birth.”
13. So Moses cried out to the lord, “O God, I beg you, please heal her!”
14. But the lord said to Moses, “If her father had done nothing more than spit in her face, wouldn’t she be defiled for seven days? So keep her outside the camp for seven days, and after that she may be accepted back.”
15. So Miriam was kept outside the camp for seven days, and the people waited until she was brought back before they traveled again.
16. Then they left Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
