۞ And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued. 52 Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities, 53 (Saying): "Verily! These indeed are but a small band. 54 who have enraged us greatly. 55 we are a large and watchful force." 56 So We expelled them from gardens and fountains, 57 treasures, and graceful dwellings. 58 even so, and We bequeathed them upon the Children of Israel. 59 But they pursued them at sunrise. 60 and, when the two hosts sighted each other, the companions of Moses said, 'We are overtaken!' 61 Said he, 'No indeed; surely my Lord is with me; He will guide me.' 62 We commanded Moses: "Smite the sea with your staff." And it parted, and every parting was like a lofty mountain. 63 Then We brought the others to that place. 64 And We saved Moses and those with him, all together. 65 And We drowned the others. 66 Surely there is a Sign in this, but most of them would not believe. 67 Your Lord is certainly Majestic and All-merciful. 68
