These are the verses of the Book that makes (things)clear.
3
We recite to you from the account of Musa and Firon withtruth for people who believe.
4
Surely Firon exalted himself in the land and made itspeople into parties, weakening one party from among them; heslaughtered their sons and let their women live; surely hewas one of the mischiefmakers.
5
And We desired to bestow a favor upon those who weredeemed weak in the land, and to make them the Imams, and tomake them the heirs,
6
And to grant them power in the land, and to make Fironand Haman and their hosts see from them what they feared.
7
And We revealed to Musa's mothers, saying: Give him suck,then when you fear for him, cast him into the river and donot fear nor grieve; surely We wi!l bring him back to youand make him one of the messengers.
8
And Firon's family took him up that he might be an enemyand a grief for them; surely Firon and Haman and their hostswere wrongdoers.
9
And Firon's wife said: A refreshment of the eye to me andto you; do not slay him; maybe he will be useful to us, orwe may take him for a son; and they did not perceive.
10
And the heart of Musa's mother was free (from anxiety)she would have almost disclosed it had We not strengthenedher heart so that she might be of the believers.
11
And she said to his sister: Follow him up. So shewatched him from a distance while they did not perceive,
12
And We ordained that he refused to suck any fostermother before, so she said: Shall I point out to you thepeople of a house who will take care of him for you, andthey will be benevolent to him?
13
So We gave him back to his mother that her eye might berefreshed, and that she might no grieve, and that she mightknow that the promise of Allah is true, but most of them donot know.
14
And when he attained his maturity and became full grown,We granted him wisdom and knowledge; and thus do We rewardthose who do good (to others).
15
And he went into the city at a time of unvigilance onthe part of its people, so he found therein two menfighting, one being of his party and the other of his foes,and he who was of his party cried out to him for helpagainst him who was of his enemies, so Musa struck him withhis fist and killed him. He said: This is on account of theShaitan's doing; surely he is an enemy, openly leadingastray.
16
He said: My Lord! surely I have done harm to myself, sodo Thou protect me. So He protected him; surely He is theForgiving, the Merciful.
17
He said: My Lord! because Thou hast bestowed a favor onme, I shall never be a backer of the guilty.
18
And he was in the city, fearing, awaiting, when lo! hewho had asked his assistance the day before was crying outto him for aid. Musa said to him: You are most surely oneerring manifestly.
19
So when he desired to seize him who was an enemy to themboth, he said: O Musa! do you intend to kill me as youkilled a person yesterday? You desire nothing but that youshould be a tyrant in the land, and you do not desire to beof those who act aright.
20
And a man came running from the remotest part of thecity. He said: O Musa! surely the chiefs are consultingtogether to slay you, therefore depart (at once); surely Iam of those who wish well to you.
21
So he went forth therefrom, fearing, awaiting, (and) hesaid: My Lord! deliver me from the unjust people.
22
And when he turned his face towards Madyan, he said:Maybe my Lord will guide me in the right path.
23
And when he came to the water of Madyan, he found on ita group of men watering, and he found besides them two womenkeeping back (their flocks). He said: What is the matterwith you? They said: We cannot water until the shepherdstake away (their sheep) from the water, and our father is avery old man.
24
So he watered (their sheep) for them, then went back tothe shade and said: My Lord! surely I stand in need ofwhatever good Thou mayest send down to me.
25
Then one of the two women came to him walking bashfully.She said: My father invites you that he may give you thereward of your having watered for us. So when he came to himand gave to him the account, he said: Fear not, you aresecure from the unjust people.
26
Said one of them: O my father! employ him, surely thebest of those that you can employ is the strong man, thefaithful one.
27
He said: I desire to marry one of these two daughters ofmine to you on condition that you should serve me for eightyears; but if you complete ten, it will be of your own freewill, and I do not wish to be hard to you; if Allah please,you will find me one of the good.
28
He said: This shall be (an agreement) between me andyou; whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there shall be nowrongdoing to me; and Allah is a witness of what we say.
29
So when Musa had fulfilled the term, and he journeyedwith his family, he perceived on this side of the mountain afire. He said to his family: Wait, I have seen a fire, maybeI will bring to you from it some news or a brand of fire, sothat you may warm yourselves.
30
And when he came to it, a voice was uttered from theright side of the valley in the blessed spot of the bush,saying: O Musa! surely I am Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
