۞ AND [there came a time when] We inspired Moses thus: "Go forth with My servants by night: for, behold, you will be pursued!" 52 Then the Pharaoh sent announcers to the cities, 53 "These," they said, "are only a small band, 54 They are always harassing us. 55 And verily we are host well-provided. 56 We deprived them (the unbelievers) of gardens, springs, 57 And treasures and goodly dwellings, 58 Thus it was: but [in the course of time] We were to bestow all these [things] as a heritage on the children of Israel. 59 Then they followed them at the sunrise; 60 And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught. 61 He replied: Nay indeed! My Sustainer is with me, [and] He will guide me!" 62 Then We revealed to Moses: 'Strike the sea with your staff', so it divided and each part was as a mighty mount. 63 And We advanced thereto the pursuers. 64 We delivered Moses and every one with him, 65 Then We drowned the others. 66 Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. 67 And indeed your Lord – only He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful. 68
