[2:58]
And when We said: Go
into this township and eat freely of that which is therein, and enter the gate
prostrate, and say: "Repentance." We will forgive you your sins and
will increase (reward) for the right-doers.
[2:59]
But those who did wrong changed the word which
had been told them for another saying, and We sent
down upon the evil-doers wrath from heaven for their evil-doing.
[2:60]
And when Moses asked for water for his people, We said: Smite with thy staff the rock. And there gushed out
therefrom twelve springs (so that) each tribe knew their drinking-place. Eat
and drink of that which Allah hath provided, and do not act corruptly, making
mischief in the earth.
[2:61]
And when ye said: O Moses! We are weary of one
kind of food; so call upon thy Lord for us that He bring forth for us of that
which the earth groweth - of its herbs and its cucumbers and its corn and its
lentils and its onions. He said: Would ye exchange that which is higher for
that which is lower ? Go down to settled country, thus
ye shall get that which ye demand. And humiliation and wretchedness were
stamped upon them and they were visited with wrath from Allah. That was because
they disbelieved in Allah’s revelations and slew the prophets wrongfully. That
was for their disobedience and transgression.
