'Lord' said Moses, 'expand my chest, 25 And make my affair easy to me, 26 Unloose the knot upon my tongue, 27 That they may understand my speech, 28 And give me as assistant from my family 29 "Aaron, my brother; 30 To strengthen me 31 and let him share my task, 32 so that we may glorify You much 33 And may make mention of Thee oft. 34 Verily Thou! Thou art of us ever a Beholder. 35 [Allah] said, "You have been granted your request, O Moses. 36 Indeed, We showed Our favour to you before also, 37 When We told your mother what We relate: 38 “That, ‘Put him into a chest and cast it into the river, so the river shall deposit it on to a shore – therefore one who is an enemy to Me and you, shall pick him up’; and I bestowed upon you love from Myself; and for you to be brought up in My sight.” 39 Your sister went to them and said, "May I show you someone who will nurse this child?" We returned you to your mother to make her rejoice and forget her grief. You slew a man and We saved you from trouble. We tried you through various trials.

Let the Children of Israel go with us, and do not oppress them.

With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others. 53 Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence. 54
