Here are some Verses from the lucid Scripture.
3
We will recite to you from the story of Moses and Pharaoh which is true for believers.
4
Verily, Pharaoh had elevated himself in the land, divided the people into groups, and persecuted one of them by killing their sons and sparing their women. Truly, He was among the corrupt!
5
We wished to be gracious to those who were persecuted in that land and make them imams and inheritors,
6
improve their position in the land, and show Pharaoh, Haman and their hosts what they were so afraid of.
7
So We inspired the mother of Moses: — Breast-feed him, and when you will fear for his safety, cast him into the river. Do not worry or grieve — We will return him to you and make him a Messenger.
8
Thus the family of Pharaoh retrieved the one who will become their enemy and cause them much grief. Pharaoh, Haman and their hosts were all transgressors.
9
Pharaoh’s wife said: “Spare him: he’ll be a joy for my eyes and yours. Perhaps he’ll be useful to us or we’ll adopt him as our son.” Little did they know!
10
In the morning the heart of Moses’s mother was empty, and she was about to reveal [her secret], but We strengthened her heart to let her stay a believer.
11
She said to [Moses’s] sister: “Watch over him!” She began to watch over him from aside, but little did they know!
12
At first We forbade him a wet nurse until [his sister] said: “Let me show you a household that will bring him up for you and will become sincerely attached to him!”
13
Thus We returned him to his mother to comfort her eyes, stop her grief, and let her know that God’s promise is true, albeit the majority do not know [it].
14
When [Moses] grew up and reached maturity, We gave him Wisdom and Knowledge. This is how We reward those who do good!
15
[One day] he entered the city, unnoticed by its inhabitants. There he came upon two fighting men. One was of his creed and the other of that of his enemies. His fellow in creed called him to help against his enemy, and Moses slayed him by a blow with his fist. He said: “This is the work of Satan! Verily, he’s the enemy who leads everyone astray!”
16
He [also] said: “O my Lord! Truly, I’ve wronged my soul! Forgive me!” And [God] forgave him — verily, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful!
17
He [also] said: “O my Lord! Since You’ve bestowed Your favor upon me, I’ll never support the corrupt!”
18
In the morning, as he was [walking] in the city, cautiously looking around, he was called [again] by the man who had sought his help the day before. Moses said to him: “You’re truly a troublemaker!”
19
When he had almost subdued their common enemy, the latter said: “O Moses! Do you want to murder me, as you murdered someone else yesterday? Apparently you want to be an oppressor in the land, and not a peacemaker!”
20
At this, a man came running from the farthest end of the city and said: “O Moses! The chieftains are considering killing you. Go away from here — such is my good advice!”
21
He continued to walk, fearfully looking around, and said: “O my Lord! Deliver me from the people who do wrong!”
22
And turning his face to Madyan, he said: “I hope that my Lord will show me the straight path!”
23
Arriving at the watering place in Madyan, he came upon a group of people watering [their cattle]. There he met two women backing [their flock]. He said: “What is the matter with you?” They said: “We can’t water [our flock] until the shepherds are gone; and our father is a very old man.”
24
After watering [their flock], [Moses] turned aside to the shade and said: “O my Lord! I need all the favor You can bestow upon me!”
25
One of the two [women] modestly walked toward him and said: “My father invites you to repay you for watering [our flock]!” When he arrived, [Moses] told him what happened, and he said: “Don’t be afraid, you’re safe here from the unjust people!”
26
One of the two [women] said: “O my father, hire him! Who would be a better hired hand than a strong and trustworthy [man]!”
27
[The father] said to him: “I’d wed you to one of my two daughters, if you work for me for eight years, unless you want to make it ten — you decide. I don’t want to place any hardship upon you, and, God willing, you’ll find me upright.”
28
[Moses] said: “So let it be so between us. Neither of the terms will burden me. God is witness to your words.”
29
At the end of the term, Moses and his kin went their way. When he saw a fire on the side of a mountain, he said to his kin: “Wait! I see a fire! From it I might bring you some news or a burning brand to keep you warm.”
30
When he approached [the fire], a voice was heard from a tree in the hallowed grove on the right side of the valley: — O Moses! Verily, I am God, the Lord of the Worlds.
