1 Miriam and Aaron began to criticize Moses because he was married to a woman from Sudan. 2 They asked, |Did the LORD speak only through Moses? Didn't he also speak through us?| The LORD heard their complaint. 3 (Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on earth.) 4 Suddenly, the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, |All three of you come to the tent of meeting.| So all three of them came. 5 Then the LORD came down in the column of smoke and stood at the entrance to the tent. He called to Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. 6 He said, |Listen to my words: When there are prophets of the LORD among you, I make myself known to them in visions or speak to them in dreams. 7 But this is not the way I treat my servant Moses. He is the most faithful person in my household. 8 I speak with him face to face, plainly and not in riddles. He even sees the form of the LORD. Why weren't you afraid to criticize my servant Moses?| Numbers 12:1-8, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
