¹⁰ When the cloud lifted from above the tent,^(A) Miriam’s skin was leprous^[a]—it became as white as snow.^(B) Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease,^{(C) 11} and he said to Moses, “Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed.^{(D) 12} Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother’s womb with its flesh half eaten away.”

¹³ So Moses cried out to the Lord, “Please, God, heal her!^(E)”

¹⁴ The Lord replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face,^(F) would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp^(G) for seven days; after that she can be brought back.” ¹⁵ So Miriam was confined outside the camp^(H) for seven days,^(I) and the people did not move on till she was brought back.
