“Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.”
Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, all at the entrances of their tents; and the anger of the LORD became very hot, and Moses was displeased — the lament spreads throughout the camp: each family weeps at its tent entrance. God's anger ('becomes very hot,' yichar af YHWH) intensifies, and Moses himself becomes displeased ('vayeira be-einei Moshe), suggesting Moses shares God's frustration with the people's chronic ingratitude.
