6. And the lord said to them, “Now listen to what I say:“If there were prophets among you,I, the lord, would reveal myself in visions.I would speak to them in dreams.
7. But not with my servant Moses.Of all my house, he is the one I trust.
8. I speak to him face to face,clearly, and not in riddles!He sees the lord as he is.So why were you not afraidto criticize my servant Moses?”
9. The lord was very angry with them, and he departed.
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!”
