Numbers 12:1-11

1 Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife (he had married a Cushite).
2 They said, "Is Moses the only one the Lord speaks through? Doesn't he also speak through us?" And the Lord heard this.
3 (Now Moses was very humble. He was the least proud person on earth.)
4 So the Lord suddenly spoke to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam and said, "All three of you come to the Meeting Tent." So they went.
5 The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance to the Tent. He called to Aaron and Miriam, and they both came near.
6 He said, "Listen to my words: When a prophet is among you, I, the Lord, will show myself to him in visions; I will speak to him in dreams.
7 But this is not true with my servant Moses. I trust him to lead all my people.
8 I speak face to face with him -- clearly, not with hidden meanings. He has even seen the form of the Lord. You should be afraid to speak against my servant Moses."
9 The Lord was very angry with them, and he left.
10 When the cloud lifted from the Tent and Aaron turned toward Miriam, she was as white as snow; she had a skin disease.
11 Aaron said to Moses, "Please, my master, forgive us for our foolish sin.
