2 And they said: Hath the Lord spoken by Moses only? Hath he not also spoken to us in like manner? And when the Lord heard this
3 ( For Moyses was the mildest man above all men that dwelt upon the earth)
3 (For Moses was a man exceeding meek above all men that dwelt upon earth),
4 immediately he spake to him, and to Aaron and Mary: Go forth you three only to the tabernacle of covenant. And when they were come forth,

5 our Lord descended in the pillar of a cloud, and stood in the entry of the tabernacle calling Aaron & Mary. Who going unto him,
5 The Lord came down in a pillar of the cloud, and stood in the entry of the tabernacle calling to Aaron and Mary. And when they were come,

6 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.
7 But my servant Moyses is not such an one, who in all my house is most faithful:
7 But it is not so with my servant ¹Moses who is most faithful in all my house:

8 ²For 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?

12 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.

13 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: O God, I beseech thee heal her.
14 To whom our Lord answered: If her father had spit upon her face, ought she not to have been ashamed seven days at the least? Let her be separated seven days without the camp, and afterwards she shall be called again.
14 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 afterwards she shall be called again.
15 Mary therefore was shut forth without the camp seven days: and the people moved not from that place, until Mary was called again.
