Numbers 12:9 - John Wesley's Notes

Numbers 12:9

7 Not so with ^aMy servant Moses;
^bHe is faithful in all ^cMy house.

8 I speak with him ^aface to face,
Even ^bplainly, and not in dark sayings;
And he sees ^cthe form of the Lord.
Why then ^dwere you not afraid
To speak against My servant Moses?”

9 So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed.

10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, ^asuddenly Miriam became ^bleprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper.

11 So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please ^ado not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.

12 Please ^ado not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”

13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please ^aheal her, O God, I pray!”

Numbers 12:9

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.
