۞ By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued." 52 And Pharaoh sent forth heralds to all the cities. 53 (Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band, 54 They are always harassing us. 55 and we are a host on our guard.' 56 So, We expelled them from gardens and springs, 57 And treasures and goodly dwellings, 58 Thus we let the Israelites inherit them all. 59 Then they pursued them at sunrise. 60 When the two groups came close to each other, the companions of Moses said, "We will be caught". 61 He replied: Nay indeed! My Sustainer is with me, [and] He will guide me!" 62 Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast. 63 And We made the other party approach thither. 64 And We delivered Musa and those with him together. 65 Then We drowned the others. 66 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe. 67 Indeed your Lord is mighty and merciful. 68
