Numbers 12 reports a situation in which Miriam and Aaron, sister and brother of Moses, begin to speak ill of Moses because of his Cuxita wife. They question Moses' authority and question why God speaks only to him. As a result, God rebukes Miriam and Aaron, and Miriam is punished with leprosy. Below are four verses related to the topics covered in numbers 12.
Exodus 4:24-26: "Now it happened that, on the way, in an inn, the Lord went out to meet him, and wanted to kill him. Then he took a sharp stone, cut his son's fortreskin and threw it at the feet of Moses, saying, You are a bloodthirsty husband. And the Lord left him alone. She said: bloodthirsty husband, because of circumcision. " This verse mentions the Cuxite wife of Moses and the incident in which she saves the life of Moses by circumcising the circumcision of their son.

Deuteronomy 18:18-19: "I will raise a prophet to them like you, among their brothers, and put my words in their mouth, and he will say all that I command to them. And whatever he does not hear my words , that he speaks in my name, I will require him. " This verse mentions God's promise to raise a prophet like Moses to lead the children of Israel. This may be related to Miriam and Aaron's criticism of Moses' authority.
John 7:16-18: "Jesus answered: My doctrine is not mine, but from the one who sent me. If anyone wants to do his will, by the same doctrine he will know if he is from God, or if I speak of myself. Whoever speaks of himself seeks his own glory, but what seeks the glory of the one who sent him, this is true, and there is no injustice in him. " This verse mentions the relationship between the authority of Jesus and the will of God. It can be related to Miriam and Aaron's criticism of Moses' authority and his relationship with God.
