۞ We revealed to Moses: "Set forth with My servants by night for you will be pursued." 52 Then Pharaoh sent among the cities musterers: 53 Most surely these are a small company; 54 who have certainly provoked our wrath. 55 "But we are host all assembled, amply forewarned." 56 Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings, 57 And treasures and goodly dwellings, 58 and We made the Children of Israel inheritors of these bounties. 59 So they pursued them at sunrise. 60 And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught. 61 (Moses) said: "By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!" 62 Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast. 63 And there We brought the others on, 64 We delivered Moses and all who were with him; 65 But We drowned the others. 66 Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers. 67 And verily thy Lord! He is the Mighty, the Merciful. 68
