1. Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses. They criticized him because he married an Ethiopian woman.
2. They said to themselves, “Moses is not the only one the Lord has used to speak to the people. He has also spoken through us!” The Lord heard this.
3. (Moses was a very humble man. He was more humble than any other man on earth.)
4. So suddenly, the Lord came and spoke to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. He said, “You three, come to the Meeting Tent, now!” So Moses, Aaron, and Miriam went to the Tent.
5. The Lord came down in the tall cloud and stood at the entrance to the Tent. He called out, “Aaron and Miriam!” They went to him.
