3. Now the man Moses was humble, more so than anyone on earth.
4. Immediately, the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, "You three go out to the meeting tent." So the three of them went out.
5. Then the Lord descended in a column of cloud, stood at the entrance of the tent, and called to Aaron and Miriam. The two of them came forward.
6. He said, "Listen to my words: If there is a prophet of the Lord among you, I make myself known to him in visions. I speak to him in dreams.
7. But not with my servant Moses. He has proved to be reliable with all my household.

9. The Lord’s anger blazed against them, and they went back.
