Exegesis
Diber {דִּבֶּ֣ר | dibber} in the Piel perfect denotes direct communication and is mirrored by banu {בָּנוּ | bānû} ‘through us’ to form a chiastic structure (Moses… us).
introduces adversative contrast, while gam {גַּם־ | gam} ‘also’ expands the scope of recipients.
In context — Numbers 12:2
And they said, “Has the LORD spoken only through Moses ? Has He not also spoken through us?” And the LORD heard it.
