38. « When We inspired your mother with that which We inspired.»
39. « Saying: ‘Put him ( the child ) into the Tabût ( a box or a case or a chest ) and put it into the river ( Nile ) ; then the river shall cast it up on the bank, and there, an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his shall take him.’ And I endued you with love from Me, in order that you may be brought up under My Eye.»
40. « When your sister went and said: ‘Shall I show you one who will nurse him?’ So We restored you to your mother, that she might cool her eyes and she should not grieve. Then you did kill a man, but We saved you from great distress and tried you with a heavy trial. Then you stayed a number of years with the people of Madyan ( Midian ) . Then you came here according to the fixed term which I ordained ( for you ) , O Mûsâ ( Moses ) !»
41. « And I have chosen you, [ 1 ] for Myself.»
42. « Go you and your brother with My Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc. ) , and do not, you both, slacken and become weak in My Remembrance.»

48. « Truly, it has been revealed to us that the torment will be for him who denies [ believes not in the Oneness of Allâh, and in His Messengers. ] , and turns away ( from the truth and obedience of Allâh ) . »
49. Fir‘aun ( Pharaoh ) said: « Who then, O Mûsâ ( Moses ) , is the Lord of you two? »
50. [ Mûsâ ( Moses ) ] said: « Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright. »
