I wish that all Yahweh's people were prophets, that Yahweh
would put his Spirit on them!
011:030 Moses got him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
011:031 There went forth a wind from Yahweh, and brought quails
from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's
journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side,
round about the camp, and about two cubits above the surface
of the earth.
011:032 The people rose up all that day, and all the night,
and all the next day, and gathered the quails:
he who gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread
them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
011:033 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed,
the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh
struck the people with a very great plague.
011:034 The name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there

012:001 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite
woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
012:002 They said, Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he

They three came out.
012:005 Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of
the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.
012:006 He said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you,
I Yahweh will make myself known to him in a vision, I will
speak with him in a dream.
012:007 My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:
012:008 with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly,
and not in dark speeches; and the form of Yahweh shall he see:
why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant,

012:009 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against them; and he departed.
012:010 The cloud removed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous,
as [white as] snow: and Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold,
she was leprous.
012:011 Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, please don't lay sin on us,
for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.
012:012 Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half
consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.
012:013 Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, Heal her, God, I beg you.
