Expand my breast for me, 25 And make my mission easy. 26 “And untie the knot of my tongue.” 27 so that they may understand me. 28 Appoint for me a minister from my family 29 Harun, my brother. 30 Strengthen me through him, 31 "And make him share my task: 32 so that we may glorify 33 "And remember Thee without stint: 34 Surely You know us well." 35 He said: "Moses, your petition is granted. 36 Already another time We favoured thee, 37 when We inspired thy mother with this inspiration: 38 "Cast him into the ark, and cast him into the river, and let the river throw him up on the shore. An enemy of Mine and his shall take him." And I loaded on thee love from Me, and to be formed in My sight, 39 Then your sister followed you, and said (to the people who had retrieved the child): 'Should I guide you to a person who can nurse him?' We thus brought you back to your mother that her heart may be cheered, and she may not grieve. (Remember) when you killed a man We saved you from anguish; and tested and steeled you (in other ways).

My Lord does not err, nor does He forget." 52 HE IT IS who has made the earth a cradle for you, and has traced out for you ways [of livelihood] thereon, and [who] sends down waters from the sky: and by this means We bring forth various kinds of plants. 53 Eat and pasture your cattle: verily therein are signs for men of sagacity. 54
