۞ We revealed to Moses: "Set forth with My servants by night for you will be pursued." 52 Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers 53 'These' they said, 'are a small band, 54 And lo! they are offenders against us. 55 And most surely we are a vigilant multitude. 56 Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings, 57 And treasures and goodly dwellings, 58 Thus we let the Israelites inherit them all. 59 Then they pursued 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 Moses said, "Certainly not. My Lord is with me and He will certainly guide me." 62 Then We revealed to Moses, (commanding him): "Strike the sea with your rod." Thereupon the sea split up, and then each became like the mass of a huge mount. 63 Then brought We near the others to that place. 64 And We saved Moses and those with him, every one; 65 And We drowned the others. 66 Verily! In this is indeed a sign (or a proof), yet most of them are not believers. 67 And verily thy Lord! He is the Mighty, the Merciful. 68
