Numbers 12:9 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 12:9

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them
Which might be visible by some outward token, as by lightning from the cloud, or, however, what follows was sufficient to show it:

and he departed;
from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, where he had stood in the pillar of cloud for some time; but as soon as he had given his testimony of Moses, and expressed his displeasure at Aaron and Miriam, he went away directly from them; not staying to hear what they had to say for themselves, which was a plain indication of his anger against them.

Numbers 12:9 In-Context

7 My slave Moses is not so, who is faithful in all my house.
8 With him I will speak mouth to mouth and by sight not by enigmas; he shall see the similitude of the LORD. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my slave Moses?
9 Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and he departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle, and, behold, Miriam was leprous as the snow; and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly, and we have sinned.
