So follow me and obey my command." 90 They replied: 'We will not stop; we will cling to it until Moses returns to us.' 91 Moses said to Aaron, "What prevented you, when you saw that they had gone astray, 92 “That you did not come after me?

All your life you are (cursed) to say: 'Do not touch me; and a threat hangs over you which you will not be able to escape.

And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed. 102 Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but ten (days). 103 We know well what they will say to one another: We also know that even the most cautious in his estimate will say: "You lived in the world no more than a day." 104
