AMPLIFIED 2015					Num 12:1 Now ¹Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the ²Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a Cushite woman);

Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

Miriam is presumed to be the leader of the attack on Moses' authority because she is mentioned before Aaron and because of the severity of her punishment.

Because the ancient borders of Cush and Midian sometimes overlapped Miriam may have considered Moses' wife, Zipporah, a Cushite instead of a Midianite (Ex 2:21); however, it is also possible that Zipporah had died and this refers to a second wife. Marriage with a Canaanite was forbidden (Ex 34:11, 16), but not marriage with an Egyptian or Cushite. Joseph's wife was an Egyptian (Gen 41:45).
