﴿وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٠﴾(10) And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -
﴿قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ ٤٣ فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ ٤٤ فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ٤٥﴾(43) Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw." (44) So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant." (45) Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
﴿رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ ٤٨﴾(48) The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
﴿۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ٥٢﴾(52) And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."
﴿فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَـٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ ٦١ قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ ٦٢ فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٦٣ وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْـَٔاخَرِينَ ٦٤ وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ ٦٥﴾(61) And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!" (62) [Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me." (63) Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain. (64) And We advanced thereto the others [i.e., the pursuers]. (65) And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.
