۞ And We revealed unto Musa saying: go by night with My bondmen verily ye shall be pursued. 52 The Pharaoh sent word to all the cities saying, 53 'Behold, these are a small troop, 54 they have enraged us, 55 and we are a host on our guard.' 56 We deprived them (the unbelievers) of gardens, springs, 57 their treasures and their noble dwellings -- 58 Thus it was: but [in the course of time] We were to bestow all these [things] as a heritage on the children of Israel. 59 Then they followed them at the sunrise; 60 and, when the two hosts sighted each other, the companions of Moses said, 'We are overtaken!' 61 Said he, 'No indeed; surely my Lord is with me; He will guide me.' 62 Then We revealed to Moses, 'Strike with thy staff the sea'; and it clave, and each part was as a mighty mount. 63 And We advanced thereto the pursuers. 64 We delivered Moses and all those who were with him, 65 Then We drowned the others. 66 In this [story] behold, there is a message [unto all men,] even though most of them will not believe [in it]. 67 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful. 68
