And Miriam and Aaron spake again Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. And he said, Hear now my words: If there 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. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again. And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again. And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.-Numbers 12:1-16/the complete chapter***Miriam the prophetess and her younger brothers Aaron the priest and Moses the prophet were Israelites from the tribe of Levi, born to Amram and his wife Jochebed. Amram and Jochebed kept Moses hidden during the 3 months after his birth, and thus Moses was not killed when a specific Pharaoh ruled Egypt and the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Moses lived as the son of the daughter of Pharaoh. When Moses was 40 years old, he murdered an Egyptian and left Egypt the next day, after the murder was mentioned to him during a fight between 2 Israelites. Moses married Zipporah, a Midianite woman, and their sons Gershom and Eliezer were born. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, the Lord God sent them to speak to Pharaoh and to the Israelites. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the will of the Lord God. In Hazeroth, Miriam received punishment from the Lord God, and in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin, Aaron and Moses received punishment from the Lord God. Moreover, during the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam died and was buried in Kadesh. Upon Mount Hor, 120-year-old Aaron died and was buried. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. During the eras after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, several psalmists were divinely inspired to write of all that the Lord God hears. Over 400 years after Malachi the prophet received and wrote a message from the Lord God to the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Levi was Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 12:1-16, 20:1-29, 26:57-61, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Psalm 94, Malachi, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
