Numbers 12:1-8 ▼

1 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married (for he had married an Ethiopian woman).

2 They said, |Has the LORD only spoken through Moses? Has he not also spoken through us?| And the LORD heard it.

3 (Now the man Moses was very humble, more so than any man on the face of the earth.)

4 The LORD spoke immediately to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam: |The three of you come to the tent of meeting.| So the three of them went.

5 And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent; he then called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward.

6 The LORD said, |Hear now my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known to him in a vision; I will speak with him in a dream.

7 My servant Moses is not like this; he is faithful in all my house.

8 With him I will speak face to face, openly, and not in riddles; and he will see the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?|
