Numbers 12:6
Compare all
4 aSuddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out.  
5 aThen 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.  
6 Then He said,
“Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, make Myself known to him ain a vision;
I speak to him bin a dream. 
7 Not so with aMy servant Moses;
bHe is faithful in all cMy house. 
8 I speak with him aface to face,
Even bplainly, and not in dark sayings;
And he sees cthe form of the Lord.
Why then dwere you not afraid
To speak against My servant Moses?”  
9 So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed.
10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, asuddenly Miriam became bleprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper.

Numbers 12:6-7

Hear now my words—A difference of degree is here distinctly expressed in the gifts and authority even of divinely commissioned prophets. Moses, having been set over all God's house, (that is, His church and people), was consequently invested with supremacy over Miriam and Aaron also and privileged beyond all others by direct and clear manifestations of the presence and will of God.
