These are the signs of the clear book.
3
We recite to you from the news of Moses and Pharaoh with truth, for a people who acknowledge.
4
Pharaoh became mighty in the land, and he turned its people into factions, he oppressed a group of them by killing their children and shaming their women. He was of those who corrupted.
5
We wanted to help those who were oppressed in the land, and to make them role models, and to make them the inheritors.
6
To enable them in the land, and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their troops what they had feared.
7
We inspired to Moses' mother: Suckle him, and when you become fearful for him, then cast him off in the sea, and do not fear nor grieve. We will return him to you and We will make him of the messengers.
8
Then the family of Pharaoh picked him up, so he would be an enemy to them and a source of sadness. Certainly, Pharaoh and Haman and their troops were doing wrong.
9
Pharaoh's wife said, A pleasure to my eye and yours, so do not kill him, perhaps he will benefit us or we may take him as a son!, while they did not perceive.
10
Moses' mother's heart became anxious, that she nearly revealed her identity. But We strengthened her heart, so that she would be of those who acknowledge.
11
She said to his sister: Follow his path. So she watched him from afar, while they did not notice.
12
We forbade him from accepting all the nursing mothers. Then his sister said, Shall I lead you to a family that can nurse him for you, and take good care of him?
13
Thus, We returned him to his mother, so that she may be pleased and not be saddened, and to let her know that God's promise is the truth. However, most of them do not know.
14
When he reached his maturity and strength, We bestowed him with wisdom and knowledge. We thus reward the good doers.
15
He entered the city unexpectedly, without being noticed by the people. He found in it two men who were fighting, one was from his own race, and the other was from his enemy's. So the one who was from his own race called on him for help against his enemy, whereby Moses punched him, killing him. He said, This is from the work of the devil; he is an enemy that clearly misleads.
16
He said, My Lord, I have wronged my person, so forgive me. He then forgave him, for He is the Forgiver, the Compassionate.
17
He said, My Lord, for what blessings you have bestowed upon me, I will never be a supporter of the criminals.
18
So he spent the night in the city, afraid and watchful. Then the one who sought his help yesterday, was asking again for his help. Moses said to him: You are clearly a trouble maker.
19
But when he was about to strike their common enemy, he said, O Moses, do you want to kill me, as you killed that person yesterday? Obviously, you wish to be a tyrant on earth; you do not wish to be of the righteous.
20
A man came running from the far side of the city, saying: O Moses, the commanders are plotting to kill you, so leave immediately. I am giving you good advice.
21
He exited the city, afraid and watchful. He said, My Lord, save me from the wicked people.
22
As he traveled towards Midyan, he said, Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the right path.
23
When he arrived at the watering hole of Midyan, he found a crowd of people watering. He noticed two women waiting on the side. He said, What is holding you back. They said, We cannot draw water until the shepherds finish, and our father is an old man.
24
So he drew water for them, then he turned to a shaded area, and he said, My Lord, I am poor, lacking any provisions You may have sent down.
25
So one of the two women approached him, shyly, and said, My father invites you to reward you for watering for us. So when he came to him, and told him his story, he said, Do not fear, for you have been saved from the wicked people.
26
One of the two women said, O my father, hire him. For the best to be hired is one who is strong and honest.
27
He said, I wish you to marry one of my two daughters, on condition that you work for me through eight pilgrimage periods; if you complete them to ten, it will be voluntary on your part. I do not wish to make this matter too difficult for you. You will find me, God willing, of the righteous.
28
He said, It is then an agreement between me and you. Whichever period I fulfill, you will not be averse to either one. God is entrusted over what we said.
29
So when Moses fulfilled his obligation, he was traveling with his family and he saw a fire from the slope of the mount. He said to his family: Stay here. I have seen a fire. Perhaps I can bring to you news from there, or a portion of the fire to warm you.
30
When he reached it, he was called from the tree at the edge of the right side of the valley on blessed ground: O Moses, it is Me, God, the Lord of the worlds.
