Numbers 12:10 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Numbers 12:10

8 I speak with him ^aface to face,
Even ^bplainly, and not in dark sayings;
And he sees ^cthe form of the Lord.
Why then ^dwere you not afraid
To speak against My servant Moses?”

9 So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed.

10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, ^asuddenly Miriam became ^bleprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper.

11 So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please ^ado not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.

12 Please ^ado not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”

13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please ^aheal her, O God, I pray!”

14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but ^aspit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be ^bshut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again.”

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
