(Moses) said: "O my Lord! expand me my breast; 25 'and do Thou ease for me my task. 26 Remove the defect of my tongue 27 that they may understand my words. 28 “And appoint for me a viceroy from among my family.” 29 Aaron my brother 30 Strengthen me through him 31 "And make him share my task: 32 So that we should glorify Thee much, 33 "And remember Thee without stint: 34 You are Well Aware of our situation." 35 He said: You are indeed granted your petition, O Musa 36 And certainly We bestowed on you a favor at another time; 37 When We inspired to your mother what We inspired, 38 to lace her child in a chest and throw it into the sea which would hurl it towards the shore. Then an enemy of Mine who was also the enemy of the child would pick it up from there.
