Numbers 12:1-13 confronts envy, rash speech, and God’s defense of His servant. Pray this sober reflection on humility, correction, and intercession. Miriam and Aaron speak against Moses. The Lord calls them to the tent of meeting. He declares Moses faithful in all His house. He speaks to him face to face. Miriam is struck with leprosy. Aaron confesses and pleads for mercy. Moses prays, O God, please heal her. The Lord shows justice and mercy. Miriam waits seven days outside the camp. The people wait with her. Community moves again when restoration comes. Learn to guard the tongue. Refuse jealousy. Let God defend His servants. Seek correction that leads to life. Intercede for those who fail. Choose meekness that trusts God. Ask for purified lips and a steadfast heart. Bring this reading to your home and parish. May the Lord teach us reverent speech and merciful prayer.  #Numbers121_13 #Numbers12 #MiriamAndAaron #Moses #CushiteWife #Leprosy #DivineJustice #Intercession #Humility #Obedience #PillarOfCloud #CampOfIsrael #Pentateuch #OldTestament #CatholicReflection #ScriptureReflection #SpeakNoEvil #GuardTheTongue #AvoidSlander #GodDefendsHisServants #FaceToFaceWithGod #MeeknessOfMoses #LordHealHer #OGodPleaseHealHer #MiriamStruckWithLeprosy #AaronRepents #CallToRepentance #ForgiveAndRestore #AuthorityAndMercy #CommunityPurification #SevenDaysOutsideCamp #ReturnToTheCamp #LeadershipUnderGod #ProphetsAndVisions #UniqueCallOfMoses #JealousyAndPride #CorrectionInLove #PrayerThatHeals #MercyTriumphs #HolinessInSpeech #FearOfTheLord #WalkInHumility #ScriptureForToday #LectioDivina #HomilyAid #Catholic #Christian #Bible #Philippines #Cebu #BasilicaMinoreDelStoNiñodeCebu #Faith #Prayer #Worship

Transcript

00:00A reading from the book of Numbers, chapter 12, verses 1 to 13.

00:05Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses on the pretext

00:08of the marriage he had contracted with a Cushite woman.

00:12They complained, Is it through Moses alone that the Lord speaks?

00:16Does he not speak through us also?

00:18And the Lord heard this.

00:20Now Moses himself was by far the meekest man on the face of the earth.

00:24So at once the Lord said to Moses and Aaron and Miriam,

00:27Come out, you three, to the meeting tent.

00:30And the three of them went.

00:32Then the Lord came down in the column of cloud

00:34and standing at the entrance of the tent, called Aaron and Miriam.

00:38When both came forward he said, Now listen to the words of the Lord.

00:43Should there be a prophet among you, in visions will I reveal myself to him,

00:47in dreams will I speak to him, not so with my servant Moses.

00:51Throughout my house he bears my trust.

00:53Face to face I speak to him, plainly and not in riddles.

00:57The presence of the Lord he beholds.

01:00Why then, did you not fear to speak against my servant Moses?

01:05So angry was the Lord against them that when he departed,

01:08and the cloud withdrew from the tent, there was Miriam, a snow-white leper.

01:13When Aaron turned and saw her a leper he said to Moses,

01:16Ah, my Lord, please do not charge us with the sin,

01:19that we have foolishly committed.

01:21Let her not thus be like the stillborn babe,

01:24that comes forth from its mother's womb,

01:27with its flesh half consumed.

01:29Then Moses cried to the Lord,

01:31Please not this.

01:32Pray heal her.
