“Moses’ Uniqueness is Challenged and Affirmed”
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses regarding the Cushite woman he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman.
12:1
They said, “Was it only to Moses that Hashem spoke? Did He not speak to us, as well?” And Hashem heard.
12:2
Now the man Moses was exceedingly humble, more than any person on the face of the earth!
12:3
Hashem descended in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the Tent, and He summoned Aaron and Miriam; the two of them went out.
:5
He said, “Hear now My words. If there shall be prophets among you, in a vision shall I, Hashem, make Myself known to him; in a dream shall I speak with him.
:6
Not so in My servant Moses; in My entire house he is the trusted one.
:7
Mouth to mouth do I speak to him, in a clear vision and not in riddles, at the image of Hashem does he gaze. Why did you not fear to speak against My servant Moses?
:8
The wrath of Hashem flared up against them, and He left.
:9
The cloud had departed from atop the Tent, and behold! Miriam was afflicted with tzaraas, like snow! …
:10
Moses cried out to Hashem, saying, “Please, God, heal her now.”
:13
Hashem said to Moses, “Were her father to spit in her face, would she not be humiliated for seven days? Let her be quarantined outside the camp for seven days, and then she may be brought in.”
:14
1 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses regarding the Cushite woman he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman.
2 They said, “Has the Lord spoken only to Moses? Hasn’t He spoken to us too?” And the Lord heard.
3 Now this man Moses was exceedingly humble, more so than any person on the face of the earth.
4 The Lord suddenly said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, “Go out, all three of you, to the Tent of Meeting!” And all three went out.
5 The Lord descended in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the Tent. He called to Aaron and Miriam, and they both went out.
6 He said, “Please listen to My words. If there be prophets among you, [I] the Lord will make Myself known to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.
7 Not so is My servant Moses; he is faithful throughout My house.
8 With him I speak mouth to mouth; in a vision and not in riddles, and he beholds the image of the Lord. So why were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses ?
9 The wrath of the Lord flared against them and He left.
10 The cloud departed from above the Tent, and behold, Miriam was afflicted with tzara’ath, [as white] as snow. Then Aaron turned to Miriam and behold, she was afflicted with tzara’ath.
11 Aaron said to Moses, “Please, master, do not put sin upon us for acting foolishly and for sinning.
12 Let her not be like the dead, which comes out of his mother’s womb with half his flesh consumed!”
13 Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “I beseech you, God, please heal her.”
14 The Lord replied to Moses, “If her father were to spit in her face, would she not be humiliated for seven days? She shall be confined for seven days outside the camp, and afterwards she may enter.
15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam had entered.
16 Then the people departed from Hazeroth, and they camped in the desert of Paran.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
