Expand my breast for me, 25 And ease for me my task 26 and my tongue fluent 27 That they may understand my saying. 28 And give me as assistant from my family 29 Aaron, my brother. 30 “Back me up with him.” 31 and associate him with me in my task. 32 That we may exalt You much 33 “And profusely remember You.” 34 “Indeed You see us.” 35 He said: "Moses, your petition is granted. 36 Indeed, We showed Our favour to you before also, 37 When We inspired to your mother what We inspired, 38 [Saying], 'Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My eye. 39 Your sister went (to them) and said: 'Shall I guide you to one who will nurse him' And so We restored you to your mother, so that her eyes might rejoice and that she might not sorrow.
