Num 12:9 | MHM | STEP | v. 9 : God showed His anger by departing from them. This was a sign of His displeasure, possibly indicated by a change in the cloud’s appearance or flashes of lightning. When God’s presence departs, it is a serious and sorrowful event. It shows that sin drives God away, and without His presence, we are left in a dangerous and hopeless state (v. 9 ). This reminds us to value God’s presence and avoid actions that would cause Him to turn away.
