Moses said: "Lord! Open my breast for me; 25 And make my mission easy. 26 And loose a knot from my tongue. 27 so that they may understand me. 28 And appoint for me a minister from my family - 29 Aaron, my brother. 30 "Increase my strength with him, 31 And associate him (with me) in my affair, 32 that we may abundantly extol Your glory; 33 and remember Thee abundantly. 34 Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing." 35 He said: You are indeed granted your petition, O Musa 36 We have bestowed Our favour on you before this 37 when We inspired thy mother with this inspiration: 38 to lace her child in a chest and throw it into the sea which would hurl it towards the shore.
