Numbers 12:1-10

Numbers 12:1-10

1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses 

because of 

the Ethiopian woman 

whom he had married: 

for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2 And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it.

(They were prophets also, just not of the stature of Moses)

3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, 

(Humbly patient)

above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

4 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.

5 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.

6 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.

7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

8 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?

9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.

10 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.

Matthew Henry commentary on vs 10

"Miriam was struck with a leprosy, but not Aaron, 

because she was first in the transgression, 

and God would put a difference 

between those that mislead and those that are misled. 

They were speaking against him 

because his Ethiopian wife 

had skin that was darker than theirs.

A souls beauty is colorblind.

It has nothing to do 

with outward physical appearances.

YOU CAN NOT LOVE GOD

AND HATE HIS CREATION.

PERIOD.
