۞ And We inspired Musa (Moses), saying: "Take away My slaves by night, verily, you will be pursued." 52 The Pharaoh sent word to all the cities saying, 53 saying: "These (Israelites) are only a small band of people 54 And lo! they are offenders against us. 55 and we are a host on our guard' 56 So We expelled them from gardens and fountains, 57 Treasures, and every kind of honourable place. 58 Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the children of Israel. 59 So they pursued them at sunrise. 60 and, when the two hosts sighted each other, the companions of Moses said, 'We are overtaken!' 61 He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me. 62 Thereupon We inspired Moses thus: Strike the sea with thy staff!" - whereupon it parted, and each part appeared like a mountain vast. 63 Then brought We near the others to that place. 64 And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them. 65 Then drowned the others. 66 Verily herein is a sign; but most of them are not believers. 67 Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate. 68
