1 Miriam 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.
3 Moses wasn't very proud at all. In fact, he had less pride than anyone else on the face of the earth.
4 The Lord spoke to Moses, Aaron and Miriam. He said, "All three of you, come out to the Tent of Meeting." So they did.
5 Then 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.
