Exodus 11:8
8And aall these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people who follow you.’ And after that I will go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.Exodus 32:21-22

Moses Strikes the Rock
10Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, d“Hear now, you rebels: shall we bring water for you out of this rock?” 11And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his staff twice, eand water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock. 12And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because fyou did not believe in me, gto uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.” 13 hThese are the waters of Meribah, ▼▼ Meribah means quarreling
where the people of Israel quarreled with the Lord, and through them he showed himself holy. Numbers 20:24
24 j“Let Aaron be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land that I have given to the people of Israel, because kyou rebelled against my command at the waters of Meribah.Numbers 25:7-11
7 lWhen Phinehas mthe son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear in his hand 8and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped. 9Nevertheless, nthose who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.The Zeal of Phinehas
10And the Lord said to Moses, 11“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the people of Israel, in that he owas jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the people of Israel in pmy jealousy.Nehemiah 5:6-13
6I was very angry when I heard qtheir outcry and these words. 7I took counsel with myself, and I brought charges against the nobles and the officials. I said to them, r“You are exacting interest, each from his brother.” And I held a great assembly against them 8and said to them, “We, as far as we are able, shave bought back our Jewish brothers who have been sold to the nations, but you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us!” They were silent and could not find a word to say. 9So I said, “The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk tin the fear of our God uto prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies? 10Moreover, I and my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Let us abandon this exacting of interest. 11Return to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their houses, and the percentage of money, grain, wine, and oil that you have been exacting from them.” 12Then they said, “We will restore these and vrequire nothing from them. We will do as you say.” And I called the priests and wmade them swear xto do as they had promised. 13 yI also shook out the fold ▼▼Hebrew bosom
of my garment and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not keep this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied.” aaAnd all the assembly said “Amen” and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised. Ephesians 4:31-32
31 abLet all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 acBe kind to one another, tenderhearted, adforgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
