۞ And We inspired Musa (Moses), saying: "Take away My slaves by night, verily, you will be pursued." 52 Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities, 53 They announced “These people are a small group.” 54 "And they are raging furiously against us; 55 "But we are host all assembled, amply forewarned." 56 So We made them leave their gardens and springs, 57 treasures, and graceful dwellings. 58 Thus it was; and We made the children of Israel possess them. 59 Then they followed them at the sunrise; 60 and when the two groups saw each other, Moses' companions said, "We are sure to be overtaken." 61 Moses said: "Certainly not. My Lord is with me; He will direct me." 62 Then We bade Moses strike the sea with his staff. And it parted, and each part was like a huge mountain. 63 Then brought We near the others to that place. 64 And We saved Moses and those with him, all together. 65 Then drowned the others. 66 Indeed in this is surely a sign, and most of them were not Muslims. 67 And verily, your Lord! He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. 68
