Suddenly YHWH said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” And the three of them came out.
Numbers 12:4
"Suddenly" should be understood as "sharply". God addressed all three of them harshly, indicating that Aaron and Miriam were definitely in the wrong, but Moses must have contributed to the problem in some way. Maybe Moses was a little *too* meek in his leadership role.
The men who wrote the New Testament were under no delusion that they were writing the words of the Creator. Although many people consider the letters scripture, the writers would probably not. 2 Timothy 3:16—17, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.” As Paul writes this he is not referring to the gospels which were written afterward — he is referring to what we know as the Old Testament.
Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth.
Numbers 12:3
Moses was a powerful man, but too humble to defend himself. He spoke out for others, but not for himself. That reminds me of #yeshua, who was falsely accused, but allowed himself to be convicted and executed for the crimes of the world.

PARABLES
THE SECRETS OF HEAVEN IN A STORY ABOUT SEEDS
From Mark 4:1-25
One time, when Yeshua walked beside the Sea of Galilee, great crowds gathered behind Him. Entering a boat near the shore, Yeshua sat down to teach them. As He often did, He began to teach through stories. Here is one of the stories He told: [Listen! There was once a man who went into a field to sow some seeds. As he threw the seed, some of it fell along the hard soil of the path, and the birds flew down to eat it. Some seed fell on shallow soil filled with rocks. The seeds began to grow quickly in the shallow soil, but the sun soon scorched the young plants for they did not have much root. Some of the seeds fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the young plants and kept the grain from growing. Other seed fell into good soil, and produced a good crop, in some cases thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much as had been planted. If you have ears, you should listen to what I am saying.] When the crowd had gone and Yeshua was alone, some of His followers asked Him about the meaning of the story. [This parable helps you understand the secrets of YHVH’s Kingdom,] Yeshua answered. [Others hear only the story itself, but to you its meaning is revealed. It has been written: ‘Some will look, but not perceive, some will listen, but not understand. But those who do will turn to YHVH and He will take away their sin.’] Then Yeshua said to His followers, [It really isn’t difficult to understand the meaning of this parable. If you don’t understand this one, it will be difficult for you to understand any of the parables. Listen carefully. The seed that is sown is the Word of YHVH. But like the seed that falls on the hard path, some of it falls on hard hearts. As soon as the Word comes to these hearts, Satan descends and snatches it away. In the same way, the rocky soil represents those who accept YHVH’s Word quickly with joy, but because of their shallow hearts they give it up when the first trouble or persecution comes along. The seed among thorns is the Word which is choked out by the worries and cares of this life, the delights of riches, and the desire for things. All of these things keep the Word from bearing fruit. The seed that fell on good soil is the Word that takes root in a life. It is heard, accepted, and allowed to bear fruit. Like the sower’s seed, it will produce thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much as was planted.] Yeshua also said, [Do people light a lamp and then put it under a basket or a bed? Of course not! They put it on a lamp stand so that it will give light. Whatever is hidden now will someday be revealed and whatever is covered now will someday be uncovered. If you have ears, you should listen to what I am saying.] Then Yeshua added, [Be sure to pay attention to this. You will receive in the same measure as you give. You will receive even more. Whoever has much will receive more, but whoever has little will lose what he has.]
COMMENTARY
SEEDTIME AND HARVEST
In the time when Yeshua was on earth, the sowing and harvesting of grain had to be done entirely by hand -- as it still is, in some parts of the Near East and the rest of the world. The climate in Palestine has changed very little, if at all, since Bible times. Seedtime is still -- as it was then -- during the months we think of as harvest time. Farmers begin sowing their seeds in early October; by the beginning of December all the crops are planted. The rains of winter come and keep the crops watered. By April, the crops are fully grown. Just when our farmers are thinking about spring planting, the farmers in Bible lands are sharpening their sickles and getting ready for the harvest. Harvest time has always been a season of great contrasts. There was much hard work to be done, but there were occasions to celebrate a fruitful harvest. The Jews observed the Feast of Pentecost during this season. From the Passover in April until the month of June, they set aside a special time to thank YHVH for His blessings on the land.
How do we receive all of the blessings and mentioned in the bible? We have to follow him with all our hearts, minds, and strength. We must obey the voice of yahuah (the holy spirit ruack hakodesh and all his words), to keep his precepts and statues that are written in this book of the law, and if you turn to yahuah your elohim with all your mind, heart, and with all your being. Deuteronomy 30:5-10, TAB. You must obey! You must serve yahuah with your whole heart! From the morris cerullo god's victorious army bible spiritual warfare reference edition II pages 263 & 264 from the library and inheritance of roberta breithaupt.
You can't just claim that the salvation in yahushuah hamashiach jesus the messiah grants all the blessings in the Bible without being in the covenants. The new covenant ads on the previous covenants, it didn't abolish the previous covenants and instructions. Matthew 4:4 man must live by "every word" that proceeds from the mouth of yahuah. Not pick and choose buffet. We have to eat our vegetables too, not just desert, and meat.
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of YHWH that will stand.
Proverbs 19:21
The most resolute man who has ever lived can't do a single thing to change God's predetermined course of history. He gives us a lot of leeway in our day to day affairs, so it's good to plan and work toward our goals, but always be ready to pivot if you discover that God has something different in mind.
