۞ 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 [And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band, 54 They are always harassing us. 55 And lo! we are a ready host. 56 So We made them leave the gardens and springs of water, 57 And treasures and agreeable mansions. 58 As such we gave it to the Children of Israel. 59 But they pursued them at sunrise. 60 When the two forces drew within seeing distance of each other, the people of Moses said: "We shall certainly be overtaken." 61 Moses said, "Certainly not. My Lord is with me and He will certainly guide me." 62 Then We revealed unto Musa, saying: smite thou the sea with thy staff. So it became separated, and each part was like unto a cliff mighty. 63 And there We brought the others on, 64 And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them. 65 then We drowned the others. 66 Surely in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe: 67 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful. 68
