Chapter 12 of Numbers—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a 1Cushite woman);
  2. 2and they said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?” And the LORD heard it.
  3. (Now the man Moses was 3very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.)
  4. Suddenly the LORD said to Moses and Aaron and to Miriam, “You three come out to the tent of meeting.” So the three of them came out.
  5. 4Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tent, and He called [a]Aaron and Miriam. When they had both come forward,
  6. He said,
    ¶ “Hear now My words:
    If there is a prophet among you,
    I, the LORD, shall make Myself known to him in a 5vision.
    I shall speak with him in a 6dream.
  7. “Not so, with 7My servant Moses,
    8He is faithful in all My household;
  8. 9With him I speak mouth to mouth,
    Even openly, and not in dark sayings,
    And he beholds 10the form of the LORD.
    Why then were you not afraid
    To speak against My servant, against Moses?”
  9. ¶ So the anger of the LORD burned against them and 11He departed.
  10. But when the cloud had withdrawn from over the tent, behold, 12Miriam was leprous, as 13white as snow. As Aaron turned toward Miriam, behold, she was leprous.
  11. Then Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, I beg you, 14do not account this sin to us, in which we have acted foolishly and in which we have sinned.
  12. Oh, do not let her be like one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes from his mother’s womb!”
  13. Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, “O God, 15heal her, I pray!”
  14. But the LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but 16spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be shut up for seven days 17outside the camp, and afterward she may be received again.”
  15. So 18Miriam was shut up outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was received again.
  16. ¶ Afterward, however, the people moved out from Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
