Translation of Verse 90-104

90. Aaron had already warned them beforehand, "O my people! You are only being tested by this, for indeed your ˹one true˺ Lord is the Most Compassionate. So follow me and obey my orders."

91. They replied, "We will not cease to worship it until Moses returns to us."

92. Moses scolded ˹his brother˺, "O Aaron! What prevented you, when you saw them going astray,

93. from following after me? How could you disobey my orders?" 602

94. Aaron pleaded, "O son of my mother! Do not seize me by my beard or ˹the hair of˺ my head. I really feared that you would say, 'You have caused division among the Children of Israel, and did not observe my word.'"

95. Moses then asked, "What did you think you were doing, O Sâmiri?"

96. He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful ˹of dust˺ from the hoof-prints of ˹the horse of˺ the messenger-angel ˹Gabriel˺ then cast it ˹on the moulded calf˺. This is what my lower-self tempted me into." 603

97. Moses said, "Go away then! And for ˹the rest of your˺ life you will surely be crying, 'Do not touch ˹me˺!' 604 Then you will certainly have a fate 605 that you cannot escape. Now look at your god to which you have been devoted: we will burn it up, then scatter it in the sea completely."

98. ˹Then Moses addressed his people,˺ "Your only god is Allah, there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He encompasses everything in ˹His˺ knowledge."

99. This is how We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺ some of the stories of the past. And We have certainly granted you a Reminder 606 from Us.

100. Whoever turns away from it will surely bear the burden ˹of sin˺ on the Day of Judgment,

101. suffering its consequences forever. What an evil burden they will carry on Judgment Day!

102. ˹Beware of˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, 607 and We will gather the wicked on that Day blue-faced ˹from horror and thirst˺. 608

103. They will whisper among themselves, "You stayed no more than ten days ˹on the earth˺."

104. We know best what they will say-the most reasonable of them will say, "You stayed no more than a day."


Commentary

602. Moses' orders are mentioned in 7:142.

603. This verse could also be translated as follows: "I had an insight which they did not have, then grasped some knowledge from the messenger ˹Moses˺, but ˹later˺ threw it away. This is what my lower-self tempted me to do." According to many Quran commentators, while Moses and the Children of Israel were crossing the sea to escape abuse by Pharaoh and his people, the Sâmiri saw Gabriel on a horse leading the way, and every time the horse touched the ground, it turned green. So the Sâmiri took a handful of dust from the hoof-prints of the horse, and later tossed it at the calf so it started to make a lowing sound.

604. Meaning, alienated in the dessert, away from the people.

605. lit., destined time.

606. The Quran.

607. See footnote for 18:99.

608. This can also mean "blind."
