Moses was very angry, and said to Yahweh, "Don`t respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them."

Righteous Anger
Commentators explain that Moses' great anger was not a sinful, personal outburst. Instead, it was a "holy ardor" or "zeal for God." He was angered because God's name was being dishonored and the people were on a path to self-destruction. His response—turning to God in prayer rather than lashing out—demonstrates that his anger was rooted in righteousness.
