۞ And We revealed unto Musa saying: go by night with My bondmen verily ye shall be pursued. 52 Then Pharaoh sent gatherers to the cities. 53 'These' they said, 'are a small band, 54 and they have enraged us, 55 "But we are host all assembled, amply forewarned." 56 Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings, 57 And treasures and agreeable mansions. 58 As such we gave it to the Children of Israel. 59 The people of the Pharaoh pursued them at sunrise. 60 And when the two hosts came in view of each other, Moses' companions said: 'We have been reached' 61 Moses replied, "No, My Lord is with me, and He will guide me." 62 Then We bade Moses strike the sea with his staff. And it parted, and each part was like a huge mountain. 63 Then brought We near the others to that place. 64 We saved Moses and all the people with him 65 Then We drowned the others. 66 Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe. 67 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful. 68
