Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” 9 The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he departed. 10 After the cloud had departed from above the tent, there was Miriam, leprous like snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and realized that she was leprous! 11 The Intercession of Moses So Aaron said to Moses,“O my lord, please do not hold this sin against us, in which we have acted foolishly and have sinned! 12 Do not let her be like a baby born dead, whose flesh is half-consumed when it comes out of its mother’s womb!” 13 Then Moses cried to the LORD,“Heal her now, O God.” 14 The LORD said to Moses,“If her father had only spit in her face, would she not have been disgraced for seven days? Shut her out from the camp seven days, and afterward she can be brought back in again.” 15 So Miriam was shut outside of the camp for seven days, and the people did not journey on until Miriam was brought back in.
