On the subject of the saints' favour with the Lord, we present the example of God's reproach to Aaron and Miriam when they criticized Moses. The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and said to Aaron and Miriam in front of Moses: "If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision, and I speak to him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house. I speak with him face to face, even plainly, and not in dark sayings; and he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?" (Num.12: 68)
