Numbers 12:1

Miriam spoke ill of Moses because of the Cushite woman he had taken as his wife, and Aaron agreed with her. Moses had taken a Cushite woman as his wife.
[The verb "spoke ill of" is in the feminine form, which makes it clear that it was Miriam who led the conversation. Since it concerned Moses' choice of wife, the motive may have been jealousy. Cush is both a name and a region. Cush was the son of Ham and grandson of Noah. He populated the southern parts of the earth. Areas associated with Cush are North Africa, Nubia, and Ethiopia.]
