۞ By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued." 52 Then Pharaoh sent among the cities musterers: 53 'These' they said, 'are a small band, 54 "And verily, they have done what has enraged us; 55 And most surely we are a vigilant multitude. 56 So We made them leave their gardens and springs, 57 And treasures and agreeable mansions. 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 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: "Certainly not. My Lord is with me; He will direct 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 Then We brought the others to that place. 64 We saved Moses and all the people with him 65 Then drowned the others. 66 Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe. 67 Verily your Lord is Immensely Mighty, Ever Compassionate. 68
