The Complete Passuk

וְעַתָּה הַנִּיחָה לִּי וְיִחַר־אַפִּי בָהֶם וַאֲכַלֵּם וְאֶעֱשֶׂה אוֹתְךָ לְגוֹי גָּדוֹל׃

Torah Temimah points to classical source on this unit (verified).

הַנִּיחָה לִּי — רֶמֶז לִתְפִלָּה.

English: “Leave Me alone” — a hint for prayer.

Derash on “hanicha li” as an opening for Moshe’s intercession.

Hashem’s words “leave Me alone” open the door for Moshe to pray and intercede for Israel.
