04:011:031 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought
quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's
journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side,
round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of
the earth.
04:011:032 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night,
and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered
least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for
themselves round about the camp.
04:011:033 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was
chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the
LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
04:011:034 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah:
because there they buried the people that lusted.
04:011:035 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto
Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
04:012:001 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian
woman.
04:012:002 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses?
hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
04:012:003 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which
were upon the face of the earth.)
04:012:004 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and
unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation.
And they three came out.
04:012:005 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood
in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they
both came forth.
04:012:006 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among
you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will
speak unto him in a dream.
04:012:007 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine
house.
04:012:008 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and
not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:
wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
04:012:009 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he
departed.
04:012:010 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold,
Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam,
and, behold, she was leprous.
04:012:011 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee,
lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we
have sinned.
04:012:012 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half
consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
04:012:013 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God,
I beseech thee.
04:012:014 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in
her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out
from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
