The Complaint of Miriam and Aaron
Then Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a Cushite wife. Exo 2:21Gen 26:34-35Gen 24:37Gen 27:46Gal 4:16Gen 24:3Gen 28:6-9Gen 34:14-15 “Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this. Ezk 35:12-13Num 16:3Isa 37:4Mic 6:4Php 2:14Php 2:32Ki 19:4Num 11:1
Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth. Mat 11:29Jas 3:132Co 11:52Co 12:11Mat 5:51Pe 3:41Th 2:7Jas 3:2-3
And suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three went out, Psa 76:9Num 16:16-21 and the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had stepped forward, Num 11:25Exo 34:5Exo 40:38Psa 99:7 He said, “Hear now My words: 1Ki 3:5Gen 31:10-11Gen 46:2Act 22:17-18Luk 1:22Dan 10:8Luk 1:11Ezk 1:1
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision;
I will speak to him in a dream.
But this is not so with My servant Moses; Heb 3:2-6Jos 1:1Psa 105:261Co 4:2Mat 11:111Pe 2:4-51Ti 3:15Act 3:22-23
he is faithful in all My house. 1
I speak with him face to face, Deu 34:101Co 13:12Exo 24:10-11Exo 33:11Exo 33:23Luk 10:162Co 4:4-6Jhn 14:7-10
clearly and not in riddles;
he sees the form of the LORD.
Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?” So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed. Gen 17:22Hos 5:15Num 11:1
As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, 2 white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous, Deu 24:92Ki 5:272Ch 26:19-212Ki 15:5Exo 4:6Exo 33:7-10Ezk 10:18-19Ezk 10:4-5 and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed. 2Sa 24:102Sa 19:19Pro 30:321Ki 13:61Sa 12:191Sa 15:24-251Sa 2:302Ch 16:9 Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.” Psa 88:4-51Co 15:81Ti 5:6Eph 2:1-5Job 3:16Psa 58:8Col 2:13
So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!” Jas 5:15Luk 6:28Rom 12:211Sa 12:231Sa 15:11Exo 32:10-14Isa 30:26Jer 17:14
But the LORD answered Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.” Deu 25:9Job 30:10Isa 50:6Num 5:2-3Lev 13:45-462Ch 26:20-21Heb 12:9Job 17:6
So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought in again. Deu 24:8-9Hab 3:2Lam 3:32Mic 6:4Mic 7:8-9Exo 20:12Gen 9:21-23 After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran. Num 11:35Num 33:18Num 10:121Sa 25:1Gen 21:21Hab 3:3Num 13:26Num 13:3
