2:40 O Children of Israel[1], remember My favor that I bestowed upon you, and fulfill My covenant; I will fulfill your covenant[2], and fear none but Me.

2:41 And believe in what I have sent down[1], which confirms that [Scripture] which is with you, and do not be the first to disbelieve in it, nor trade My verses for a small price, and fear Me alone.

2:42 And do not mix the truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth knowingly[1].

2:43 And establish prayer, give zakah, and bow [to Allah] with those who bow[1].

2:44 Do you enjoin righteousness upon others while you forget yourselves, even though you recite the Scripture[1]? Do you not understand?

2:45 Seek help through patience and prayer. It is strenuous except for the humble,

2:46 those who are sure that they are going to meet their Lord, and that they will return to Him.

2:47 O Children of Israel, remember My blessing which I bestowed upon you and that I favored you over all other people[1].
