And We gave Moses nine signs,
clear signs. Ask the Children of Israel
when he came to them, and Pharaoh
said to him, 'Moses, I think thou art bewitched.'
He said, 'Indeed thou knowest that none
sent these down, except the Lord
of the heavens and earth, as clear
proofs; and, Pharaoh, I think thou art accursed.'
He desired to startle them from the land;
and We drowned him and those with him, all together.
And We said to the Children of Israel
after him, 'Dwell in the land; and
when the promise of the world to come
comes to pass, we shall bring you a rabble.'
With the truth We have sent it down,
and with the truth it has come down;
and We have sent thee not, except
good tidings to bear, and warning,
and a Koran We have divided,
for thee to recite it to mankind
at intervals, and We have sent it down successively.
Say: 'Believe in it, or believe not';
those who were given the knowledge before it
when it is recited to them, fall down
upon their faces prostrating, and say,
'Glory be to our Lord! Our Lord's promise is performed.'
