1

AND Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the 1Ethiopian woman whom he had 2married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2

And athey said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD bheard it.

3

(Now the man Moses was cvery meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

4

6

And he said, Hear now my words: If fthere be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

7

gMy servant Moses is not so, hwho is faithful in all mine house.

8

With him will I speak imouth to mouth, even *apparently, and jnot in dark speeches; and the ksimilitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not lafraid to speak against my servant Moses?
