Translation of Verse 47-59

47. O Children of Israel! Remember ˹all˺ the favours I granted you and how I honoured you above the others. 23

48. Guard yourselves against the Day on which no soul will be of help to another. No intercession 24 will be accepted, no ransom taken, and no help will be given.

49. ˹Remember˺ how We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment, slaughtering your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord.

50. And ˹remember˺ when We parted the sea, rescued you, and drowned Pharaoh's people before your very eyes.

51. And ˹remember˺ when We appointed forty nights for Moses, then you worshipped the calf in his absence, acting wrongfully.

52. Even then We ˹still˺ forgave you so perhaps you would be grateful.

53. And ˹remember˺ when We gave Moses the Scripture-the standard ˹to distinguish between right and wrong˺ that perhaps you would be ˹rightly˺ guided.

54. And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his people, "O my people! Surely you have wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf, so turn in repentance to your Creator and execute ˹the calf-worshippers among˺ yourselves. That is best for you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance. Surely He is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.

55. And ˹remember˺ when you said, "O Moses! We will never believe you until we see Allah with our own eyes," so a thunderbolt struck you while you were looking on.

56. Then We brought you back to life after your death, so that perhaps you would be grateful.

57. And ˹remember when˺ We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails, 25 ˹saying˺, "Eat from the good things We have provided for you." The evildoers ˹certainly˺ did not wrong Us, but wronged themselves.

58. And ˹remember˺ when We said, "Enter this city and eat freely from wherever you please; enter the gate with humility, saying, 'Absolve us.' We will forgive your sins and multiply the reward for the good-doers."

59. But the wrongdoers changed the words they were commanded to say. So We sent down a punishment from the heavens upon them for their rebelliousness.


Commentary

23. Meaning, I chose you above all peoples of your time.

24. "Intercession" is the act of pleading with Allah on behalf of another person on the Day of Judgment.

25. Manna (heavenly bread) and quails (chicken-like birds) sustained the children of Israel in the wilderness after they left Egypt.
