But the LORDsaidto Moses,"If her fatherhad but spitin her face,would she not bearher shamefor sevendays?Let her be shutup for sevendaysoutsidethe camp,and afterwardshe may be receivedagain."
The LORDstruckthe king,so that he was a leperto the dayof his death.And he livedin a separatehouse,while Jothamthe king'ssonwas overthe household,judgingthe peopleof the land.
"But He has mademe a bywordof the people,And I amone at whom men spit.
"They abhorme [and] standalooffrom me, And they do not refrainfrom spittingat my face.
I gaveMy backto those who strike[Me], And My cheeksto those who pluckout the beard;I did not coverMy facefrom humiliationand spitting.
"But ifthe brightspotis whiteon the skinof his body,and it does not appearto be deeperthanthe skin,and the hairon it has not turnedwhite,then the priestshall isolate[him who has] the infectionfor sevendays.
"The one to be cleansedshall then washhis clothesand shaveoffallhis hairand bathein waterand be clean.Now afterward,he may enterthe camp,but he shall stayoutsidehis tentfor sevendays.
Then the LORDspoketo Moses,saying,
Thenthey spatin His faceand beat Him with their fists;and othersslappedHim,
then his brother'swifeshall cometo him in the sightof the elders,and pullhis sandaloffhis footand spitin his face;and she shall declare,'Thusit is doneto the manwhodoes not buildup his brother'shouse.'
Furthermore,we hadearthlyfathersto disciplineus, and we respectedthem; shall we not muchratherbe subjectto the Fatherof spirits,and live?
