Expand my breast for me, 25 And ease for me my affair. 26 And untie the knot from my tongue 27 That they may understand my saying. 28 and appoint for me a helper from among my family, 29 "Harun (Aaron), my brother; 30 Strengthen my back by him, 31 "And make him share my task: 32 "That we may celebrate Thy praise without stint, 33 and may remember You much. 34 Surely You know us well." 35 He replied: 'Moses, your request is granted. 36 “And indeed We had bestowed upon you a favour one more time.” 37 When We inspired to your mother what We inspired, 38 “That, ‘Put him into a chest and cast it into the river, so the river shall deposit it on to a shore – therefore one who is an enemy to Me and you, shall pick him up’; and I bestowed upon you love from Myself; and for you to be brought up in My sight.” 39 [And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?'
