۞ And We inspired Musa (Moses), saying: "Take away My slaves by night, verily, you will be pursued." 52 Then Pharaoh sent gatherers to the cities. 53 [And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band, 54 And verily they have enraged us. 55 And verily we are host well-provided. 56 So We expelled them from gardens and fountains, 57 and treasures and a noble station; 58 and We made the Children of Israel inheritors of these bounties. 59 Then they pursued them at sunrise. 60 and as soon as the two hosts came in sight of one another, the followers of Moses exclaimed: "Behold, we shall certainly be overtaken [and defeated]!" 61 He said: Nay, verily! for lo! 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 In the meantime We made the others approach that place. 64 and We delivered Moses and those with him all together; 65 then, We drowned the others. 66 Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe. 67 And verily thy Lord! He is the Mighty, the Merciful. 68
