“And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the Lord, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.”
Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, 'Do not accept their offering. I have not taken so much as a donkey from them, and I have not wronged any of them' — Moses' anger (va-yichlar) is righteous indignation at the rebels' calumny; his prayer-protest affirms his integrity: he has taken nothing from the people, has not enriched himself through leadership, has not wronged them.
