I think they were jealous of his authority (different than power, please note) and looking for something to "get" him with - this wife was just an excuse.
God didn't like them doing this, and punished them with leprosy for awhile.

a million) It replace into no longer leprosy yet Tzaraat. particular, i know people like to translate it as leprosy, yet Tzaraat replace right into a particular religious disease and not leprosy. 2) Miriam replace into punished because of the fact it replace into her that voiced the grievance. because of the fact the instigator and chief of the two in the incident, she replace into the only that replace into punished.

actualy, they were speaking against moses because of how he treated her (he stayed away from her sexually because he wanted to be pure if god came a'knocking and they felt that this wasn't nice of him).
She actually wasn't ethiopian, but a beautiful midianite woman, so the text uses an ironic euphemism to show her beauty and her humility.
