۞ And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued. 52 So Firaun sent gatherers into the cities. 53 (Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band, 54 They are always harassing us. 55 But we are a numerous host, ever on guard." 56 So We expelled them from gardens and fountains, 57 and their treasures and excellent dwellings. 58 Thus we let the Israelites inherit them all. 59 So the Firaun’s people followed them at sunrise. 60 And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken." 61 'No, indeed' he replied, 'my Lord is with me and He will guide me' 62 Then We bade Moses strike the sea with his staff. And it parted, and each part was like a huge mountain. 63 In the meantime We made the others approach that place. 64 And We saved Moses and those with him, every one; 65 then We drowned the others. 66 Surely in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe: 67 Surely thy Lord, He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate. 68
