Numbers 12:1-8

1Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a 1Cushite woman); 22and they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?” And the Lord heard it. 3(Now the man Moses was 3very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.) 4Suddenly the Lord said to Moses and Aaron and to Miriam, “You three come out to the tent of meeting.” So the three of them came out. 54Then the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tent, and He called 5Aaron and Miriam. When they had both come forward, 6He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, shall make Myself known to him in a 6vision. I shall speak with him in a 7dream.7Not so, with 8My servant Moses, 9He is faithful in all My household;810With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds 11the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant, against Moses?”
