028.004 Y:  Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into sections, depressing a small group among them:  their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females:  for he was indeed a maker of mischief.

P:  Lo!  Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes.  A tribe among them he oppressed, killing their sons and sparing their women.  Lo! he was of those who work corruption.

S:  Surely Firon exalted himself in the land and made its people into parties, weakening one party from among them; he slaughtered their sons and let their women live; surely he was one of the mischiefmakers.

S:  And to grant them power in the land, and to make Firon and Haman and their hosts see from them what they feared.

028.007 Y:  So We sent this inspiration to the mother of Moses:  “Suckle (thy child), but when thou hast fears about him, cast him into the river, but fear not nor grieve:  for We shall restore him to thee, and We shall make him one of Our messengers.”
