۞ And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued. 52 The Pharaoh sent word to all the cities saying, 53 (Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop, 54 but they are indeed filled with hatred of us 55 And lo! we are a ready host. 56 So We expelled them from gardens, springs, 57 And treasures and goodly 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 saw each other, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken." 61 Moses replied: "By no means. My Lord is with me. He will show me the way." 62 Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain. 63 We also brought the other party close to the same spot, 64 And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them. 65 then, We drowned the others. 66 Indeed in this is surely a sign, and most of them were not Muslims. 67 Your Lord is certainly Majestic and All-merciful. 68
