2:49 And [remember] when We saved you from Pharaoh’s people, who were inflicting dreadful torment upon you: slaughtering your sons and sparing your women. That was a great trial from your Lord.

2:50 And [remember] when We parted the sea for you and saved you, while We drowned the people of Pharaoh while you were looking on.

2:51 And [remember] when We appointed for Moses forty nights. Then you took the calf [for worship] in his absence, while you were wrongdoers.

2:52 Yet We pardoned you after that, so that you may be grateful.

2:53 And [remember] when We gave Moses the Scripture and the criterion[1], so that you may be guided.

2:54 And [remember] when Moses said to his people, “O my people, you have wronged yourselves by taking the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves [i.e., the guilty among you]; that is best for you with your Creator.” Then He accepted your repentance, for He is the Accepter of Repentance, the Most Merciful.

2:55 And [remember] when you said, “O Moses, we will never believe you until we see Allah openly,” so a thunderbolt struck you while you were looking on.

2:56 Then We raised you back to life after your death, so that you may be grateful.

2:57 And We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails[1], [saying], “Eat of the good things We have provided for you.” They did not wrong Us, but they wronged themselves.
