< Chapter 2:47-59 >

002:047 And beware of a Day where no soul can avail another soul, nor will any intercession be accepted from it, nor will any ransom be taken, nor will they have supporters.
002:048 And We saved you from the people of Pharaoh; they were punishing you with severe retribution, killing your children, and raping your women. In that was a great trial from your Lord.
002:049 And We parted the sea for you, thus We saved you and drowned the people of Pharaoh while you were watching.
002:050 And We appointed a meeting time for Moses of forty nights, but then you took the calf after him while you were wicked.
002:051 Then We forgave you after that, perhaps you would be thankful.
002:052 And We gave Moses the Scripture and the criterion, perhaps you would be guided.
002:053 And Moses said to his people: “O my people, you have wronged your souls by taking the calf, so repent to your Maker, and kill yourselves. That is better for you with your Maker, so He would forgive you. He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”
002:054 And you said: “O Moses, we will not believe you until we see God openly!” So the lightning bolt took you while you were still staring.
002:055 Then We resurrected you after your death that you may be appreciative.
002:056 And We shaded you with clouds, and sent down to you manna and quails: “Eat from the goodness of the provisions We have provided you.” They did not wrong Us, but it was their souls that they wronged.
002:057 And We said: “Enter this town, and eat from it as plentifully as you wish. And enter the passage by prostrating, and Say: “Our load is removed,” so that your errors will be forgiven, and We will increase for the good doers.”
002:058 But the wicked altered what was said to them to a different saying, thus We sent down upon the wicked an affliction from the heaven for what they had transgressed.
002:059 And Moses was seeking water for his people, so We said: “Strike the rock with your staff.” Thus twelve springs burst out of it; each tribe then knew from where to drink. “Eat and drink from God’s provisions, and do not roam the Earth as corruptors.”
