1. Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2. So they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it.
3. (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)
4. Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out.
5. Then the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward.
6. Then He said,“Hear now My words:If there is a prophet among you,I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision;I speak to him in a dream.
7. Not so with My servant Moses;He is faithful in all My house.
8. I speak with him face to face,Even plainly, and not in dark sayings;And he sees the form of the Lord.Why then were you not afraidTo speak against My servant Moses?”
9. So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed.
