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.

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.
Let's prep for Shabbat this evening!
"If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, no blood shall be shed for him.
But if the sun be risen upon him, blood shall be shed for him: for he should make full restitution: if he have nothing, then should he be sold for his theft."
Ex 22
Miriam and Aaron both complained about Moses' Cushite wife in Numbers 12:1. Why was only Miriam punished? Perhaps Miriam is mentioned first because she instigated the complaint against Moses? Her name means bitterness, while Aaron means light-bringer. Was there a difference in their motivations and attitudes?
What exactly was Miriam's complaint? Was she complaining on behalf of his wife or because of her? Maybe Miriam complained that Moses married a Cushite instead of an Israelite. This might be reflected in her punishment: turning completely white.
Regardless of ancestry, we are one nation in #messiah, adopted into the Commonwealth of Israel. The color of your skin, the flags and faiths of your parents, etc., are irrelevant to your salvation. Your obedience and the state of your heart matters.
Let's pray for our people Israel, those in the land and those in exile.
Yah is in control. He who keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. Ps. 121.
