۞ Then We revealed Our will to Moses, saying, "Set forth with My servants, in the night, for you will surely be pursued." 52 And Pharaoh sent forth heralds to all the cities. 53 'These' they said, 'are a small band, 54 "And they are raging furiously against us; 55 seeing that we are, verily, a nation united, fully prepared against danger 56 So, We expelled them from gardens and springs, 57 And treasures and a fair estate. 58 Thus it was; and We made the children of Israel possess them. 59 And they overtook them at sunrise. 60 and as soon as the two hosts came in sight of one another, the followers of Moses exclaimed: "Behold, we shall certainly be overtaken [and defeated]!" 61 Said he, 'No indeed; surely my Lord is with me; He will guide me.' 62 Then We told Moses by inspiration: "Strike the sea with thy rod." So it divided, and each separate part became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain. 63 And there We brought the others on, 64 And We saved Moses and those with him, every one; 65 then We drowned the others. 66 Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe. 67 Your Lord is certainly Majestic and All-merciful. 68
