M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

51. Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongs because we are the first of the believers.

Section 4

52. And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.

53. So Firon sent heralds into the cities:

54. Most surely these are a small company:

55. And most surely they have enraged us:

56. And most surely we are a vigilant multitude.

57. So We turned them out of gardens and springs,

58. And treasures and goodly dwellings,

59. Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to children of Israel.

60. Then they pursued them at sunrise.

61. So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.

62. He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.

63. Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound.

64. And We brought near, there, the others.
