[Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. 16, Page 159]. 27 "So they may understand what I say: 28 Appoint a deputy (for me) from my own people. 29 Aaron, my brother. 30 Add Thou through him to my strength, 31 and let him share my task 32 That we may sing Your praises much, 33 And remember Thee oft. 34 Surely, Thou art seeing us. 35 He answered: "Granted is your prayer, O Moses. 36 We had already shown you favor 37 “When We inspired in your mother’s heart whatever was to be inspired.” 38 Saying! cast him in the ark, and cast him into the river, and the river will throw him on the bank, and then an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his will take him up.
