۞ AND [there came a time when] We inspired Moses thus: "Go forth with My servants by night: for, behold, you will be pursued!" 52 The Pharaoh sent word to all the cities saying, 53 'These' they said, 'are a small band, 54 but they are indeed filled with hatred of us 55 And indeed, we are a cautious society... " 56 Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings, 57 And treasures and honorable station - 58 Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh's people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them. 59 And they overtook them at sunrise. 60 And when the two hosts came in view of each other, Moses' companions said: 'We have been reached' 61 Moses replied, "No, My Lord is with me, and He will guide me." 62 Then We told Moses by inspiration: "Strike the sea with thy rod." So it divided, and each separate part became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain. 63 And We caused the pursuers to draw near unto that place: 64 And We saved Musa (Moses) and all those with him. 65 But We drowned the others. 66 Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe. 67 Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate. 68
