Numbers 12:9
So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.
BSB
ASV
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he departed.
KJV
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.
He departed - From the door of the tabernacle, in token of his great displeasure, not waiting for their answer. The removal of God~s presence from us, is the saddest token of his displeasure. And he never departs, till we by our sin and folly drive him from us.
