7 My servant Moses is not so; He is faithful in all My house.
8 With him I speak face to face, even openly, and not in riddles; And he beholds the form of Jehovah. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?
9 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and He departed.
10 And when the cloud had departed from over the tent; there Miriam was, leprous, as white as snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, leprous.
11 And Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, please do not lay this sin upon us that we have so foolishly committed.
12 Please do not let her be like one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.
13 And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, Please heal her, O God, please.
14 And Jehovah said to Moses, If her father had just spat in her face, would she not bear her shame seven days? Let her be shut up outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again.
15 So Miriam was shut up outside the camp seven days, and the people did not set out until Miriam had been brought in again.
16 After that the people set out from Hazeroth and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
CHAPTER 13
1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; one man from each of their fathers’ tribes you shall send, every one a leader among them.
3 So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them leading men among the children of Israel.
4 And these were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
5 From the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
6 From the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
7 From the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
8 From the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;
9 From the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
10 From the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
11 From the tribe of Joseph, that is, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
12 From the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
13 From the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
14 From the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
15 From the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
17 And when Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he said to them, Go up this way into the Negev, and go up into the hill country;
18 And see what the land is like; and whether the people who live in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
19 And whether the land in which they dwell is good or bad; and whether the cities that they live in are like camps or with fortifications;
20 And whether the land is fat or lean; whether there are trees in it or not. Therefore strengthen yourselves and bring some of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
