[Musa (Moses)] said: "O my Lord! Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and boldness). 25 And ease for me my task 26 and my tongue fluent 27 That they may understand my speech. 28 And give to me an aider from my family: 29 Aaron, my brother. 30 Strengthen me through him 31 And share my task, 32 That we may exalt You much 33 "And remember You much, 34 Surely Thou seest into us.' 35 He answered: "Granted is your prayer, O Moses. 36 And We had already conferred favor upon you another time, 37 when We revealed what was to be made known to your mother, 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 "When your sister went and said: 'Shall I show you one who will nurse him?'
