۞ And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued." 52 Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities, 53 'These' they said, 'are a small band, 54 "And verily, they have done what has enraged us; 55 And lo! we are a ready host. 56 and so we have [rightly] driven them out of [their] gardens and springs, 57 and [deprived them of their erstwhile] station of honour!" 58 Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh's people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them. 59 So the Firaun’s people followed them at sunrise. 60 And when the two parties saw each other, the companions of Musa said: verily we are overtaken. 61 Moses replied, "No, My Lord 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 Then brought We near the others to that place. 64 and We delivered Moses and his companions, all of them, 65 then, We drowned the others. 66 Verily herein is a sign; but most of them are not believers. 67 And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. 68
