God upholds Moses

Miriam and Aaron confront Moses about his marriage to a Cushite woman.  God Himself directly intervenes in this dialog and declares of Moses:
"With him I will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches..." (Numbers 12:8)
From Wikimedia Commons, Moses Confronted by Miriam and Aaron (10th century)
Moses is described as being meek.  One wonders if Moses continued to be reluctant in his role and weary of the constant stresses of his responsibilities.
