12Miriam and Aaron began to say bad things about Moses. That’s because Moses had married a woman from Cush. ²“Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” The Lord heard what they said.

³Moses wasn’t very proud at all. In fact, he had less pride than anyone else on the face of the earth.

⁴The Lord spoke to Moses, Aaron and Miriam. He said, “All three of you, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So they did. ⁵Then the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud. He stood at the entrance to the tent. And he told Aaron and Miriam to come to him. Both of them stepped forward.

⁶Then the Lord said, “Listen to my words.

“Suppose one of my prophets is among you.

I make myself known to him in visions.

I speak to him in dreams.

⁷But that is not true of my servant Moses.

He is faithful in everything he does in my house.

⁸With Moses I speak face to face.

I speak with him clearly. I do not speak in riddles.

I let him see something of what I look like.

So why were you not afraid

to speak against my servant Moses?”
