۞ And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued. 52 Then Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities (to mobilise troops) 53 (Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop, 54 "And they are raging furiously against us; 55 "But we are host all assembled, amply forewarned." 56 So We expelled them from gardens, springs, 57 And treasures and goodly dwellings, 58 and We made the Children of Israel inheritors of these bounties. 59 At sunrise, they followed them. 60 When the two forces drew within seeing distance of each other, the people of Moses said: "We shall certainly be overtaken." 61 [Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me." 62 Then We revealed to Moses, 'Strike with thy staff the sea'; and it clave, and each part was as a mighty mount. 63 In the meantime We made the others approach that place. 64 and We saved Moses and all who were with him, 65 then We drowned the others. 66 Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe. 67 truly, your Lord is the Mighty One, the Merciful. 68
