- and he said to Moses, "Please, my lord, do not hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed.
- Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother's womb with its flesh half eaten away."
- So Moses cried out to the LORD, "O God, please heal her!"
- The LORD replied to Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that she can be brought back."
- So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back.

- Then Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, I beg you, do not account this sin to us, in which we have acted foolishly and in which we have sinned.
- "Oh, do not let her be like one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes from his mother's womb!"
- Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "O God, heal her, I pray!"
- But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be shut up for seven days outside the camp, and afterward she may be received again."
- So Miriam was shut up outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was received again.
