P:  He said:  O Moses!  I have preferred thee above mankind by My messages and by My speaking (unto thee).  So hold that which I have given thee, and be among the thankful.

S:  He said:  O Musa! surely I have chosen you above the people with My messages and with My words, therefore take hold of what I give to you and be of the grateful ones.

007.145 Y:  And We ordained laws for him in the tablets in all matters, both commanding and explaining all things, (and said):  “Take and hold these with firmness, and enjoin thy people to hold fast by the best in the precepts:  soon shall I show you the homes of the wicked,- (How they lie desolate).”

P:  And We wrote for him, upon the tablets, the lesson to be drawn from all things and the explanation of all things, then (bade him):  Hold it fast; and command thy people (saying):  Take the better (course made clear) therein.  I shall show thee the abode of evil-livers.

S:  And We ordained for him in the tablets admonition of every kind and clear explanation of all things; so take hold of them with firmness and enjoin your people to take hold of what is best thereof; I will show you the abode of the transgressors.

007.146 Y:  Those who behave arrogantly on the earth in defiance of right — them will I turn away from My signs:  Even if they see all the signs, they will not believe in them; and if they see the way of right conduct, they will not adopt it as the way; but if they see the way of error, that is the way they will adopt.  For they have rejected our signs, and failed to take warning from them.

P:  I shall turn away from My revelations those who magnify themselves wrongfully in the earth, and if they see each token believe it not, and if they see the way of righteousness choose it nor for (their) way, and if they see the way of error choose if for (their) way.  That is because they deny Our revelations and are used to disregard them.

S:  I will turn away from My communications those who are unjustly proud in the earth; and if they see every sign they will not believe in It; and if they see the way of rectitude they do not take It for a way, and if they see the way of error, they take it for a way; this is because they rejected Our communications and were heedless of them.

007.147 Y:  Those who reject Our signs and the meeting in the Hereafter,- vain are their deeds:  Can they expect to be rewarded except as they have wrought?

P:  Those who deny Our revelations and the meeting of the Hereafter, their works are fruitless.  Are they requited aught save what they used to do?

S:  And (as to) those who reject Our communications and the meeting of the hereafter, their deeds are null.  Shall they be rewarded except for what they have done?

007.148 Y:  The people of Moses made, in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of calf, (for worship):  it seemed to low:  did they not see that it could neither speak to them, nor show them the way?  They took it for worship and they did wrong.
