Numbers 12: 1 & 10 1 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. The Strong's # for Ethiopian is H3571 which is Cushite and if originates from H3569 which is Cush, son of Ham who was cursed because of what he food to his father Noah when he was passed out drunk and naked in his tent. The word Cush originates from #H3568, which means black. So, Moses married a black woman, and God was fine with it, but Miriam and Aaron, Moses sister and neither weren't. Notice Miriam's name is listed first, and scholars all agree that that's because it was Miriam who was unhappy with Moses wife puts Aaron up to going over to Moses with her to confront him. I see this as God saying, "you want white? I'll give you white! " God never said not to marry inter-racially, He said not to inter-marry with unbelievers. As long as both members of the couple trust in Jesus Christ alone as their personal Saviour, God is fine with it. You can see that bigotry goes back a LOT father than slavery in the USA. While we're on the subject, not ALL white people had black slaves in the USA's early days. Only the rich people did. And, there were a lot of poor white people enslaved to work for the elite white people as well. These are the same elite people who are paying these people to go out and protest in our streets today. If they keep us stirred up and divided, we'll focus on that, rather than what's really going on: the dismantling of the freedoms our forefathers fought and died for, so they can have their new world order with then in charge and the rest of us their slaves. Paul said in Galatians 3:28 that there's no longer jew or Greek (gentile), male or female, black or white, but we're all one, in Christ. Back in the Old Testament, if a gentile wanted to convert to Judaism, they were welcome to do so, and they became part of the Jews. The Jews were actually supposed to witness to the other nations and convert them to Yahweh God. But, they got all proud and haughty, thinking they were better than non Jews. Or, they intermarried with people from other nations and began worshiping their gods and doing all sorts of immoral things that God forbid them to do. At any rate, when Aaron saw what happened to Miriam, he freaked out, and repented and asked Moses to heal Miriam. Moses, you gotta love him, didn't say, let her suffer with this awhile and pay her penance. No, he cried out to God to heal her right then, and God did, but, according to the levitical law, she had to be put outside the camp for 7 days. So, the Israelites had to wait those 7 days before they could move on towards their promised land. How many times have our promised land been delayed because we stepped outside of God's Word, will and way, to do it our way? Papa God search my heart for any thing that's taking me from Your path to the promised land. Forgive me, cleanse me and get me back on Your path, in Jesus name, Amen

This shows that god doesnt want us to speak ill of his people. We are to help each other, love each other , not tear one another down and talk behind each others backs .

Miriam was envious of Moses. Envy eats away at us and cause us to stink. James 3:16 - For where envy is, there is confusion and every evil work. I think envy is a much overlooked sin. It is as deadly as Cain killing Able. Oh Lord, search my heart and free me of any hidden envy and help me to forgive those that may have an envious heart and tongue against me.
