Numbers 12 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

¹ He said to them: Hear my words: if there be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him in a dream.

² But it is not so with my servant Moses a who is most faithful in all my house:

³ For I speak to him mouth to mouth: and plainly, and not by riddles and figures doth he see the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak ill of my servant Moses?

⁴ And being angry with them he went away:

⁵ 0 The cloud also that was over the tabernacle departed: and behold Mary appeared white as snow with a leprosy. And when Aaron had looked on her, and saw her all covered with leprosy,

⁶ 1 He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed:

⁷ 2 Let her not be as one dead, and as an abortive that is cast forth from the mother's womb. Lo, now one half of her flesh is consumed with the leprosy.

⁸ 3 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: O God, I beseech thee heal her.

⁹ 4 And the Lord answered him: If her father had spitten upon her face, ought she not to have been ashamed for seven days at least? Let her be separated seven days without the camp, and after wards she shall be called again.

¹⁰ 5 Mary therefore was put out of the camp seven days : and the people moved not from that place until Mary was called again.

¹¹ 6 And the people marched from Haseroth, and pitched their tents in the desert of Pharan.

¹² And there the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

¹³ Send men to view the land of Chanaan, which I will give to the children of Israel, one of every tribe, of the rulers.

¹⁴ Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending from the desert of Pharan, principal men, whose names are these:

¹⁵ Of the tribe of Ruben, Sammua the son of Zechur.

¹⁶ Of the tribe of Simeon, Saphat the son of Hurl.
