5) In Parshas Mattos (31:14), Moshe was furious at the army commanders for allowing the soldiers to return with female captives from their battle against Midian. In Parshas Vayeishev, Pharaoh discovered a fly in his wine goblet and a pebble in his bread (Rashi, Bereishis 40:1), which made him incensed with his cupbearer and baker (40:2). In Parshas Beshalach, Moshe got angry at Dasan and Aviram for leaving over part of their man from one day to the next (Shemos 16:20). In Parshas Shemini, Moshe got upset at Elozar and Isomar when they did not eat one of the korbanos after Nadav and Avihu died (Vayikra 10:16-18). In Parshas Devarim (1:34), Moshe recounted that Hashem was enraged at the Jewish people for accepting the slanderous report of the spies about Eretz Yisroel. (Torah Teasers)
