1. Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
2. They said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn’t he spoken also with us?” And the Lord heard it.
3. Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.
4. The Lord spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!”The three of them came out.
5. The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.
6. He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet amongst 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 so. He is faithful in all my house.
8. With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see the Lord’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
9. the Lord’s anger burnt against them; and he departed.
