A god who gets angry is a FALSE or an anthropomorphic god. One "becomes " angry when something unexpected or unwanted happens. If a human disobeys a divine law, an all-knowing god would know what is to happen and so anger cannot be the result. Retribution is a human emotion, not a godly one. In any case god cannot punish humans while they are still here on earth. That happens when when people go to heaven or when they are "resurrected ". Resurrection itself is a pagan concept. The Sun does each evening and is resurrected each morning. Plants die in winter and are resurrected in spring. Humans die and ... are eventually resurrected. Therefore both that god "became angry " and wished to "kill Aaron " cannot be words of God. In fact the idea of punishment itself is anthropomorphic.
