P:  And (remember) when We did deliver you from Pharaoh’s folk who were afflicting you with dreadful torment, slaughtering your sons and sparing your women.  That was a tremendous trial from your Lord.

S:  And when We delivered you from Firon’s people who subjected you to severe torment, killing your sons and sparing your women, and in this there was a great trial from your Lord.

007.142 Y:  We appointed for Moses thirty nights, and completed (the period) with ten (more):  thus was completed the term (of communion) with his Lord, forty nights.  And Moses had charged his brother Aaron (before he went up):  “Act for me amongst my people:  Do right, and follow not the way of those who do mischief.”

P:  And when We did appoint for Moses thirty nights (of solitude), and added to them ten, and he completed the whole time appointed by his Lord of forty nights; and Moses said unto his brother, Aaron:  Take my place among the people.  Do right, and follow not the way of mischief-makers.

S:  And We appointed with Musa a time of thirty nights and completed them with ten (more), so the appointed time of his Lord was complete forty nights, and Musa said to his brother Haroun:  Take my place among my people, and act well and do not follow the way of the mischief-makers.

007.143 Y:  When Moses came to the place appointed by Us, and his Lord addressed him, He said:  “O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me, that I may look upon thee.”  Allah said:  “By no means canst thou see Me (direct); But look upon the mount; if it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me.”  When his Lord manifested His glory on the Mount, He made it as dust.  And Moses fell down in a swoon.  When he recovered his senses he said:  “Glory be to Thee! to Thee I turn in repentance, and I am the first to believe.”

P:  And when Moses came to Our appointed tryst and his Lord had spoken unto him, he said:  My Lord!  Show me (Thy Self), that I may gaze upon Thee.  He said:  Thou wilt not see Me, but gaze upon the mountain!  If it stand still in its place, then thou wilt see Me.  And when his Lord revealed (His) glory to the mountain He sent it crashing down.  And Moses fell down senseless.  And when he woke he said:  Glory unto Thee!  I turn unto Thee repentant, and I am the first of (true) believers.

S:  And when Musa came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said:  My Lord! show me (Thyself), so that I may look upon Thee.  He said:  You cannot (bear to) see Me but look at the mountain, if it remains firm in its place, then will you see Me; but when his Lord manifested His glory to the mountain He made it crumble and Musa fell down in a swoon; then when he recovered, he said:  Glory be to Thee, I turn to Thee, and I am the first of the believers.

007.144 Y:  (Allah) said:  “O Moses!  I have chosen thee above (other) men, by the mission I (have given thee) and the words I (have spoken to thee):  take then the (revelation) which I give thee, and be of those who give thanks.”
