(I) T.S.M.

T.B.Irving 28:1

2

These are verses from the clear Book!

T.B.Irving 28:2

3

We shall recite in all truth to you some information about Moses and Pharaoh for folk who believe.

T.B.Irving 28:3

4

Pharaoh had acted haughtily on earth and split his people into factions, seeking to weaken a group of them. He slaughtered their sons and let their women live; he was so depraved!

T.B.Irving 28:4

5

Yet We wanted to endow those who were considered inferior on earth, and make them into leaders and make them (Our) heirs.

T.B.Irving 28:5

6

We established them on Earth and showed Pharaoh and Haman as well as their troops how they should beware of them.

T.B.Irving 28:6

7

We inspired Moses' mother (as follows): "Nurse him. If you should fear for him, then cast him into the river. Do not fear nor feel sad; We will return him to you, and appoint him as a missionary."

T.B.Irving 28:7

8

Pharaoh's household took him in, so that he became an enemy and (a source of) sadness for them. Pharaoh and Haman as well as their troops were so mistaken!

T.B.Irving 28:8

9

Pharaoh's wife said: "(He'll be) a comfort for me and for you. Do not kill him! Perhaps he'll benefit us, or we'll adopt him as a son." They did not suspect (a thing).

T.B.Irving 28:9

10

Next morning the vitals of Moses' mother felt empty; she almost revealed who he was, if We had not bound up her heart so she would be a believer.

T.B.Irving 28:10

11

She told his sister: "Keep track of him." So she watched out for him from a distance while they did not notice it.

T.B.Irving 28:11

12

We kept him from nursing at first, and so she said: "Shall I lead you to a family who will look after him for you? They will take good care of him."

T.B.Irving 28:12

13

Thus We restored him to his mother so he might comfort her and she would not feel so sad, and so she would know that God's promise is true, even though most of them do not realize it.

T.B.Irving 28:13

14

(II) When he reached maturity and came of age, We gave him discretion and knowledge. Thus We reward those who act kindly.

T.B.Irving 28:14

15

He entered the city at a time when its people were lax, and found two men fighting there, one from his own sect and the other from his enemy's. The one who was from his own faction appealed for his assistance against the one who was from his enemy's. Moses punched him and he finished him off! He said: "This is some of Satan's work; he is such an enemy, a plain misleader."

T.B.Irving 28:15

16

He said: "My Lord, I have wronged my own soul. Forgive me!" So He forgave him; He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

T.B.Irving 28:16

17

He said: "My Lord, since You have shown me such favor, I shall never back up any criminals (again)."

T.B.Irving 28:17

18

Yet he felt fearful next morning in the city; he was on the alert, when the man he had tried to support the day before called out to him for help (again). Moses told him: "You are clearly a troublemaker."

T.B.Irving 28:18

19

When he wanted to catch the one who was an enemy to them both, he said: "Moses, do you want to kill me just as you killed another person yesterday? You only want to become a bully on earth; you do not want to be a reformer."

T.B.Irving 28:19

20

A man came hurrying up from the further end of the city; he said: "Moses, the councilmen are deliberating about you, whether they should execute you. Clear out! I am giving you sincere advice."

T.B.Irving 28:20

21

He left it fearfully, on the alert. He said: "My Lord, save me from such wrongdoing folk!"

T.B.Irving 28:21

22

(III) As he made his way towards Midian, he said: "Perhaps my Lord will guide me along some level path."

T.B.Irving 28:22

23

When he approached the water of Midian, he found a company of people watering (their flocks) there, and found two women besides them, holding theirs off at a distance. He said: "What's the matter with you?" They both said: "We may not draw any water until the herdsmen move on. Our father is an elderly gentleman."

T.B.Irving 28:23

24

So he did the watering for them. Then he went off to (rest in) the shade, and said: "My Lord, I am poor enough to accept anything You may grant me."

T.B.Irving 28:24

25

One of the girls came up to him, walking bashfully. She said; "My father invites you, in order to reward you with some (sort of) payment since you have done the watering for us." When he came up to him, he told him the stories . He said: "Do not fear; you have escaped from wrongdoing folk."

T.B.Irving 28:25

26

One of the two (girls) said: "My father, hire him! The best man you can hire is someone who is strong, trustworthy."

T.B.Irving 28:26

27

He said: "I want to marry you to one of these daughters of mine, provided you hire yourself out to me for eight seasons. If you should complete ten, then that will be your own affair. I do not want to be hard on you; you will find me an honorable man, if God so wishes."

T.B.Irving 28:27

28

He said: "That is up to you and me; whichever term I may serve out, there will be no injustice done to me. God is a Trustee for anything we say."

T.B.Irving 28:28

29

(IV) When Moses had completed the term (that he had promised to work) and was travelling away with his family, he glimpsed a fire on a slope of Mount (Sinai). He told his family: "Stay here! I've glimpsed a fire. Perhaps I may bring you some news from it, or an ember from the fire so you may warm yourselves."

T.B.Irving 28:29

30

So when he came up to it, someone called out to him from the tree in the blessed hollow on the right bank of the valley: "Moses, I am God, Lord of the Universe!"

T.B.Irving 28:30
