So when something good came to them they said, 'This is our right.' And if they suffered from something evil, they ascribed it as an ill omen to Musa and those with him. Listen, their omen lies with Allah only, but most of them do not know.

And they said, "whatever sign you bring to us to enchant us therewith, we are not going to believe in you."

So We sent upon them the storm and locusts, and pests, frogs and blood, signs distinct from each other. Yet they showed arrogance and they were a guilty people.[

And when the punishment fell upon them, they said, "O Musa, pray for us to your Lord by the covenant He has made with you. If you remove the punishment from us, we shall surely believe in you and shall send the children of Isra'il with you."

So when We removed the punishment from them, for a period of time that they had to reach, they suddenly started to break the promise.

Then we took vengeance from them, and drowned them in the sea, for they belied Our signs and were neglectful of them.

And We made those people who were taken as weak, the inheritors of the easts of the land and of it's wests which We had blessed. And the sublime word of your Lord was fulfilled for the children of Isra'il, because they stood patient. And We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people used to build and what they used to raise high.

And We made the children of Isra'il cross the sea, then, they came across a people sitting in devotion before their idols. They (the Israelites) said, "0 Musa, make a god for us like they have gods." He said, "You are really an ignorant people.

] What these people are in, is sure to be destroyed; and false is what they are doing."

He said, "Shall I seek any one other than Allah as God for you, while He has given you excellence over the (people of all the) worlds."
