Read in context

Numbers 12:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?”

9 So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.

10 As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous,

11 and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.

12 Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
