A Leader's Stumble
Commentators explain that when Moses says God was angry with him 'for your sakes,' he isn't simply shifting blame. Rather, he is rebuking the people by showing how their persistent and overwhelming wickedness created the very circumstances in which he, their leader, stumbled into sin. It's a powerful illustration of how a community's unfaithfulness can impact its leaders.
