41 And I have chosen thee for Myself.

42 Go thou and thy brother with My messages and be not remiss in remembering Me.

43 Go both of you to Pharaoh, surely he is inordinate;

44 Then speak to him a gentle word, haply he may mind or fear.

45 They said: Our Lord, we fear lest he hasten to do evil to us or be inordinate.

46 He said: Fear not, surely I am with you — I do hear and see.

47 So go you to him and say: Surely we are two messengers of thy Lord; so send forth the Children of Israel with us; and torment them not. Indeed we have brought to thee a message from thy Lord, and peace to him who follows the guidance.

48 It has indeed been revealed to us that punishment will overtake him who rejects and turns away.

49 (Pharaoh) said: Who is your Lord, O Moses?

50 He said: Our Lord is He Who gives to everything its creation, then guides (it).

51 He said: What then is the state of the former generations?

52 He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a book; my Lord neither errs nor forgets —

53 Who made the earth for you an expanse and made for you therein paths and sent down water from the clouds. Then thereby We bring forth pairs of various herbs.

54 Eat and pasture your cattle. Surely there are signs in this for men of understanding.

55 From it We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it raise you a second time.

56 And truly We showed him all Our signs but he rejected and refused.

57 Said he: Hast thou come to us to turn us out of our land by thy enchantment, O Moses?
