What happensPermalink

Aaron and Miriam complain that Moses has unique authority even though God has spoken to both of them. God summons them directly and confirms Moses’s position.

Why it mattersPermalink

To oppose God’s anointed (Moses) is to oppose God. Moses must have been special for God to speak to him plainly, “not in riddles.”

Key versePermalink

And they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it.
