And We divided them

(into) two

(and) ten [i.e. twelve]

tribes

(as) communities

And We inspired

to

Musa

when

asked him for water

his people

[that]

Strike

with your staff

the stone

Then gushed forth

from it

two

(and) ten [i.e. twelve]

springs

Certainly

knew

each

people

their drinking place

And We shaded

[on] them

(with) the clouds

and We sent down

upon them

the manna

and the quails

Eat

from

(the) good things

which

We have provided you

And not

they wronged Us

but

they were

(to) themselves

doing wrong

And when

it was said

to them

Live

(in) this

city

and eat

from it

wherever

you wish

and say

Repentance

and enter

the gate

prostrating

We will forgive

for you

your sins

We will increase (reward)

(of) the good-doers

But changed

those who

wronged

among them

word

other than

(that) which

was said

to them

So We sent

upon them

torment

from

the sky

because

they were

doing wrong

And ask them

about

the town

which

was

situated

(by) the sea

when

they transgressed

in

the (matter of) Sabbath

when

came to them

their fish

(on the) day

(of) their Sabbath

visibly

and (on the) day

not

they had Sabbath

(they did) not

come to them

Thus

We test them

because

they were

defiantly disobeying
