Numbers 12:6

“And he said, hear now my words, etc.] The Targum of Jonathan reads, “I beseech you”; and Jarchi says, this particle always so signifies; but it is not so agreeable to the language of the divine Being: if there be a prophet among you; not as making a doubt of it, but rather allowing that there was, and that there were others besides Moses, as even they themselves, Aaron and Miriam, and the seventy elders, and perhaps others; or at least there had been, and would be again, as there were in later times: [I] the Lord will make myself known to him; that is, declare my mind and will concerning things present, or things to come: in a vision; when awake, either by day or by night, representing…”

“Hear now my words--A difference of degree is here distinctly expressed in the gifts and authority even of divinely commissioned prophets. Moses, having been set over all God's house, (that is, His church and people), was consequently invested with supremacy over Miriam and Aaron also and privileged beyond all others by direct and clear manifestations of the presence and will of God.”

“Miriam, as a prophetess (compare Exodus 15:20-21) no less than as the sister of Moses and Aaron, took the first rank among the women of Israel; and Aaron may be regarded as the ecclesiastical head of the whole nation. But instead of being grateful for these high dignities they challenged the special vocation of Moses and the exclusive authority which God had assigned to him. Miriam was the instigator, from the fact that her name stands conspicuously first Numbers 12:1, and that the punishment Numbers 12:10 fell on her alone. She probably considered herself as supplanted, and that too by a foreigner. Aaron was misled this time by the urgency of his sister, as once before Exodus 32:0 by that…”

“Among you - if you be prophets, yet know there is a difference among prophets, nor do I put equal honour upon all of them. Numbers 12:7”

“12:6-8 The Lord’s trust in Moses resulted in an intimate relationship. God spoke to prophets in visions and dreams, but he spoke to Moses face to face (literally mouth to mouth; see Exod 33:8-11, 18-23; Deut 34:10).”

“a prophet: Gen 20:7; Exo 7:1; Psa 105:15; Mat 23:31, Mat 23:34, Mat 23:37; Luk 20:6; Eph 4:11; Rev 11:3, Rev 11:10 in a vision: Gen 15:1, Gen 46:2; Job 4:13, Job 33:15; Psa 89:19; Eze 1:1; Dan 8:2; Dan 10:8, Dan 10:16, Dan 10:17; Luk 1:11, Luk 1:22; Act 10:11, Act 10:17, Act 22:17, Act 22:18 a dream: Gen 31:10, Gen 31:11; Kg1 3:5; Jer 23:28; Dan 7:1; Mat 1:20, Mat 2:12, Mat 2:13, Mat 2:19 Numbers 12:7”
