6 the Lord said: Now listen to my words:If there are prophets among you,in visions I reveal myself to them,in dreams I speak to them;
7 Not so with my servant Moses!Throughout my house he is worthy of trust:
8 face to face I speak to him,plainly and not in riddles.The likeness of the Lord he beholds.Why, then, do you not fear to speak against my servant Moses?
9 And so the Lord’s wrath flared against them, and he departed.
10 Now the cloud withdrew from the tent, and there was Miriam, stricken with a scaly infection, white as snow! When Aaron turned toward Miriam and saw her stricken with snow-white scales,
11 he said to Moses, “Ah, my lord! Please do not charge us with the sin that we have foolishly committed!
12 Do not let her be like the stillborn baby that comes forth from its mother’s womb with its flesh half consumed.”
