Numbers 12:4-9
New International Version
4 At once the Lord said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, “Come out to the tent of meeting, all three of you.” So the three of them went out. 5 Then the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud;(A) he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them stepped forward, 6 he said, “Listen to my words:
“When there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, reveal(B) myself to them in visions,(C)
I speak to them in dreams.(D)
7 But this is not true of my servant Moses;(E)
he is faithful in all my house.(F)
8 With him I speak face to face,
clearly and not in riddles;(G)
he sees the form of the Lord.(H)
Why then were you not afraid
to speak against my servant Moses?”(I)
9 The anger of the Lord burned against them,(J) and he left them.(K)
Numbers 12:4-9
King James Version
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.

New King James Version
4 (A)Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out. 5 (B)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. 6 Then He said,
“Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, make Myself known to him (C)in a vision;
I speak to him (D)in a dream.
7 Not so with (E)My servant Moses;
(F)He is faithful in all (G)My house.
8 I speak with him (H)face to face,
Even (I)plainly,[a] and not in [b]dark sayings;
And he sees (J)the form of the Lord.
Why then (K)were you not afraid
To speak against My servant Moses?”
9 So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed.
