Expand my breast for me, 25 Make my task easy 26 And loose a knot from my tongue, 27 that they may understand my words. 28 And appoint for me a minister from my family - 29 Aaron my brother 30 To strengthen me 31 “And make him a partner in my task.” 32 "That we may glorify You much, 33 “And profusely remember You.” 34 Verily Thou! Thou art of us ever a Beholder. 35 He said: You are indeed granted your petition, O Musa 36 And We had already conferred favor upon you another time, 37 “When We inspired in your mother’s heart whatever was to be inspired.” 38 Saying: Put him into a chest, then cast it down into the river, then the river shall throw him on the shore; there shall take him up one who is an enemy to Me and enemy to him, and I cast down upon you love from Me, and that you might be brought up before My eyes; 39 What time thy sister was walking along and saying: shall I direct you unto one who will take care of him?

Surely in that are signs for men possessing reason. 54
