In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

028.002 Y: These are Verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.

028.003 Y: We rehearse to thee some of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in Truth, for people who believe.

P: We narrate unto thee (somewhat) of the story of Moses and Pharaoh with truth, for folk who believe.

S: We recite to you from the account of Musa and Firon with truth for people who believe.

028.004 Y: 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.

P: Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes. A tribe among them he oppressed, killing their sons and sparing their women. Lo! he was of those who work corruption.

S: Surely Firon exalted himself in the land and made its people into parties, weakening one party from among them; he slaughtered their sons and let their women live; surely he was one of the mischiefmakers.

028.005 Y: 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,

P: And We desired to show favour unto those who were oppressed in the earth, and to make them examples and to make them the inheritors,

S: And We desired to bestow a favor upon those who were deemed weak in the land, and to make them the Imams, and to make them the heirs,

028.006 Y: 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.

P: And to establish them in the earth, and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts that which they feared from them.

S: And to grant them power in the land, and to make Firon and Haman and their hosts see from them what they feared.

028.007 Y: 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."

P: And We inspired the mother of Moses, saying: Suckle him and, when thou fearest for him, then cast him into the river and fear not nor grieve. Lo! We shall bring him back unto thee and shall make him (one) of Our messengers.

S: And We revealed to Musa's mothers, saying: Give him suck, then when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear nor grieve; surely We will bring him back to you and make him one of the messengers.

028.008 Y: 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.

P: And the family of Pharaoh took him up, that he might become for them an enemy and a sorrow, Lo! Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were ever sinning.

S: And Firon's family took him up that he might be an enemy and a grief for them; surely Firon and Haman and their hosts were wrongdoers.
