[Moses] said, "My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance] 25 Make my task easy 26 And loose the knot from my tongue, 27 so that they may understand my speech, 28 and appoint for me a helper from among my family, 29 Aaron, my brother. 30 Strengthen my back by him, 31 And associate him (with me) in my affair, 32 so that [together] we might abundantly extol Thy limitless glory 33 And much remember Thee. 34 Verily, You have always watched over us." 35 He replied: 'Moses, your request is granted. 36 And We had already conferred favor upon you another time, 37 “When We inspired in your mother’s heart whatever was to be inspired.” 38 "Saying: 'Put him (the child) into the Tabut (a box or a case or a chest) and put it into the river (Nile), then the river shall cast it up on the bank, and there, an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his shall take him.' And I endued you with love from Me, in order that you may be brought up under My Eye, 39 Then your sister followed you, and said (to the people who had retrieved the child): 'Should I guide you to a person who can nurse him?'
