And He [God] said, “Hear my words: When there are prophets among you, I YHWH make myself known to them in visions; I speak to them in dreams. Not so with my servant Moses; he is entrusted with all my house. With him I speak face to face—with clarity, not in riddles; and he beholds the form of YHWH. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”

Numbers 12, 6-8
