Title: Recognizing the Higher Authority

Text: Numbers 12:1-16

Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian
woman whom he had married; for he had married and Ethiopian woman. So
they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not
spoken through us also?” and the lord heard it. Now the man Moses was very
humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth. Suddenly the
Lord said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle
of meeting!” so the three came out. Then the Lord came down in the pillar of
cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam.
And they both went forward. Then He said,

“Hear now My words: if there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make Myself
known to him as a vision; I speak to him as a dream.”
Not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.
I speak to him face to face, even plainly, and not in dark sayings; and He sees
the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant
Moses?”

So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them. And He departed.
And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam
became leprous, as white as snow, then Aaron turn toward Miriam, and there
she was, a leper. So Aaron said to Moses, “oh, my lord!” please do lay this sin
on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned. “please do
not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of
his mother’s womb!” so Moses cried out to the Lord, saying” please heal her, oh
god I pray!” then then Lord said to Moses, ”if her father out spit on her face,
would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven
days and afterward she may be received again.” So Miriam was shut out of the
camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in
again. And afterward the people moved from Hazeroth and camp in the
wilderness of Paran.
