Translation of Verse 77-89

77. And We surely inspired Moses, ˹saying,˺ "Leave with My servants ˹at night˺ and strike a dry passage for them across the sea. Have no fear of being overtaken, nor be concerned ˹of drowning˺."

78. Then Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers-but how overwhelming were the waters that submerged them!

79. And ˹so˺ Pharaoh led his people astray, and did not guide ˹them rightly˺.

80. O Children of Israel! We saved you from your enemy, and made an appointment with you 595 on the right side of Mount Ṭûr, and sent down to you manna and quails, 596

81. ˹saying,˺ "Eat from the good things We have provided for you, but do not transgress in them, or My wrath will befall you. And whoever My wrath befalls is certainly doomed.

82. But I am truly Most Forgiving to whoever repents, believes, and does good, then persists on ˹true˺ guidance."

83. ˹Allah asked,˺ "Why have you come with such haste ahead of your people, O Moses?" 597

84. He replied, "They are close on my tracks. And I have hastened to You, my Lord, so You will be pleased."

85. Allah responded, "We have indeed tested your people in your absence, and the Sâmiri 598 has led them astray."

86. So Moses returned to his people, furious and sorrowful. He said, "O my people! Had your Lord not made you a good promise? 599 Has my absence been too long for you? Or have you wished for wrath from your Lord to befall you, so you broke your promise to me?" 600

87. They argued, "We did not break our promise to you of our own free will, but we were made to carry the burden of the people's ˹golden˺ jewellery, 601 then we threw it ˹into the fire˺, and so did the Sâmiri."

88. Then he moulded for them an idol of a calf that made a lowing sound. They said, "This is your god and the god of Moses, but Moses forgot ˹where it was˺!"

89. Did they not see that it did not respond to them, nor could it protect or benefit them?


Commentary

595. i.e., your prophet to receive the Tablets for your guidance.

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

597. Moses selected a delegation of seventy people from his community to go to Mount Ṭûr where it was appointed for him to receive the Tablets. On the way, he rushed for the appointment with Allah, arriving before the delegation.

598. The Sâmiri, or the man from Samaria, was a hypocrite who led the Children of Israel into idol-worship.

599. To reveal the Torah for their guidance.

600. To worship Allah alone until Moses returned with the Tablets.

601. The jewellery they borrowed from their Egyptian neighbours before they fled Egypt.
