Thou art of us ever a Beholder. 35 He answered: "Granted is your prayer, O Moses. 36 We have again bestowed Our favour upon you. 37 When We inspired unto thy mother that which We inspired, 38 'Put him in a wooden box and cast it in the river. The river will cast it on the bank. An enemy of Ours, and his, will retrieve it.'
