۞ By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued." 52 Then Pharaoh sent among the cities musterers: 53 (Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band, 54 but they are indeed filled with hatred of us 55 "But we are host all assembled, amply forewarned." 56 Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings, 57 their treasures and their noble dwellings -- 58 Thus we let the Israelites inherit them all. 59 So they pursued them at sunrise. 60 So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken. 61 Moses replied, "No, 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 Then brought We near the others to that place. 64 And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them. 65 and drowned the other party. 66 Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe. 67 And verily thy Lord! He is the Mighty, the Merciful. 68
