Moses said: "Lord! Open my breast for me; 25 'and do Thou ease for me my task. 26 Loosen the knot in my tongue, 27 "That they understand my speech, 28 Appoint a deputy (for me) from my own people. 29 Aaron, my brother; 30 By him confirm my strength 31 and let him share my task, 32 so that we exalt You 33 and remember You much: 34 Verily, Thou seest all that is within us!" 35 He replied: 'Moses, your request is granted. 36 And We had already conferred favor upon you another time, 37 when We inspired thy mother with this inspiration: 38 "Saying: 'Put him (the child) into the Tabut (a box or a case or a chest) and put it into the river (Nile), then the river shall cast it up on the bank, and there, an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his shall take him.' And I endued you with love from Me, in order that you may be brought up under My Eye, 39 “When your sister went, then said, ‘Shall I show you the people who may nurse him?’ And We brought you back to your mother in order to soothe her eyes and that she may not grieve; and you killed a man, so We freed you from sorrow, and tested you to the maximum; you therefore stayed for several years among the people of Madyan; then you came (here) at an appointed time, O Moosa.” 40 I have chosen you for My service. 41 Go thou and thy brother with My signs, and slacken not in remembrance of Mine. 42 Go both to Firon, surely he has become inordinate; 43 Then speak to him a gentle word haply he may mind or fear. 44 The twain said: O our Lord! verily we fear that he may hasten against us or wax exorbitant. 45 Answered He: "Fear not!
