“And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.”
The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them — God's departure (expressed through His turning away, the withdrawal of His manifest presence) is His judgment, more severe than any spoken curse. The pillar of cloud withdraws, and with it, the immediate sense of divine favor.
