17:1

ויחר למשה מאד (שם שם טו). מצטער למה, שהאדם דן עם חבירו מתווכח עמו ומשיבו יש שם נחת רוח, ואם אינו משיבו הרי זה צער גדול.

(Numb. 16:15:) NOW MOSES WAS VERY ANGRY. Why was he upset? Because a person who argues with his companion reasons with him. When he answers him, he has peace of mind; but if he does not answer him, then this involves great anguish.
