The two noble verses: (And when the anger subsided in Moses) and (was about to collapse) fall under the category of "personification" (or anthropomorphism) in the Quran, which is the act of imbuing inanimate objects and abstract concepts with life and embodiment. In the first verse, anger is personified as a human who falls silent, and in the second, the wall is depicted as if it has a will. This personification enhances the beauty of the Quranic expression.
