۞ And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued. 52 Then Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities (to mobilise troops) 53 "These," they said, "are only a small band, 54 and indeed they are enraging us; 55 We are warning all of you about them." 56 Thus did We drive them out of their gardens and springs 57 and treasures and a noble station; 58 even so, and We bequeathed them upon the Children of Israel. 59 But they pursued them at sunrise. 60 And when the two parties saw each other, the companions of Musa said: verily we are overtaken. 61 He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me. 62 Thereupon We inspired Moses thus: Strike the sea with thy staff!" - whereupon it parted, and each part appeared like a mountain vast. 63 And We brought the others close to that place. 64 And We delivered Musa and those with him together. 65 then We drowned the others. 66 Surely, in that there is a sign; yet most of them do not believe. 67 Indeed your Lord is mighty and merciful. 68
