28:2
These are Verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
28:3
We rehearse to thee some of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in Truth, for people who believe.
28:4
Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into sections, depressing a small group among them:
their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females: for he was indeed a maker of mischief.
28:5
And We wished to be Gracious to those who were being depressed in the land, to make them leaders (in Faith) and
make them heirs,
28:6
To establish a firm place for them in the land, and to show Pharaoh, Haman, and their hosts, at their hands, the very
things against which they were taking precautions.
28:7
So We sent this inspiration to the mother of Moses: "Suckle (thy child), but when thou hast fears about him, cast him
into the river, but fear not nor grieve: for We shall restore him to thee, and We shall make him one of Our messengers."
28:8
Then the people of Pharaoh picked him up (from the river): (It was intended) that (Moses) should be to them an
adversary and a cause of sorrow: for Pharaoh and Haman and (all) their hosts were men of sin.
28:9
The wife of Pharaoh said: "(Here is) joy of the eye, for me and for thee: slay him not. It may be that he will be use to
us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not (what they were doing)!
