۞ We said to Moses: "Travel by night with My creatures. You will surely be pursued." 52 So Firon sent heralds into the cities; 53 (Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop, 54 And lo! they are offenders against us. 55 and we are a host on our guard.' 56 So We made them leave their gardens and springs, 57 their treasures and a noble station. 58 Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things. 59 So they pursued them at sunrise. 60 And when the two groups saw each other, those with Moosa said, “They have caught us.” 61 He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out. 62 Then We told Moses by inspiration: "Strike the sea with thy rod." So it divided, and each separate part became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain. 63 And We brought the others close to that place. 64 and We saved Moses and those who were with him together, 65 And We drowned the others. 66 In this [story] behold, there is a message [unto all men,] even though most of them will not believe [in it]. 67 And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. 68
