Moshe was becoming opinionated, not taking into account another person of equal or greater stature. His brother Aharon was older and also quite a Torah scholar with his own unique perspective. It was for this reason that when HaShem became angry towards Moshe Rabbenu, that He mentioned Moshe’s brother Aharon. Moshe believed that he would be doing the task that HaShem entrusted to him, alone, that he would not have a colleague. The primary duty of teaching the people fell upon the sons of Aharon. Vayikra (Leviticus) 10:8-11 Then HaShem said to Aharon, “You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean, And you must teach the Israelites all the decrees HaShem has given them through Moshe.”
