Surah Baqarah 47-67. 47.O Children of Israel! Remember My Favour which I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you to theAlamin(mankind and jinns) (of your time period, in the past). 48.And fear a Day (of Judgement) when a person shall not avail another, nor will intercession be accepted from him nor will compensation be taken from him nor will they be helped. 49.And (remember) when We delivered you from Firauns (Pharaoh) people, who were afflicting you with a horrible torment, killing your sons and sparing your women, and therein was a mighty trial from your Lord. 50.And (remember) when We separated the sea for you and saved you and drowned Firauns (Pharaoh) people while you were looking (at them, when the sea-water covered them). 51.And (remember) when We appointed for Musa (Moses) forty nights, and (in his absence) you took the calf (for worship), and you wereZalimun(polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.). 52.Then after that We forgave you so that you might be grateful. 53.And (remember) when We gave Musa (Moses) the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah)] and the criterion (of right and wrong) so that you may be guided aright. 54.And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: O my people! Verily, you have wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf. So turn in repentance to your Creator and kill yourselves (the innocent kill the wrongdoers among you), that will be better for you with your Lord. Then He accepted your repentance. Truly, He is the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful. 55.And (remember) when you said: O Musa (Moses)! We shall never believe in you till we see Allah plainly. But you were seized with a thunderbolt (lightning) while you were looking. 56.Then We raised you up after your death, so that you might be grateful. 57.And We shaded you with clouds and sent down on youAl-Mannaand the quails, (saying): Eat of the good lawful things We have provided for you, (but they rebelled). And they did not wrong Us but they wronged themselves. 58.And (remember) when We said: Enter this town (Jerusalem) and eat bountifully therein with pleasure and delight wherever you wish, and enter the gate in prostration (or bowing with humility) and say: Forgive us, and We shall forgive you your sins and shall increase (reward) for the good-doers. 59.But those who did wrong changed the word from that which had been told to them for another, so We sent upon the wrong-doersRijzan(a punishment)from the heaven because of their rebelling against Allahs Obedience. (Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. I, Page 305). 60.And (remember) when Musa (Moses) asked for water for his people, We said: Strike the stone with your stick. Then gushed forth therefrom twelve springs. Each (group of) people knew its own place for water. Eat and drink of that which Allah has provided and do not act corruptly, making mischief on the earth. 61.And (remember) when you said, O Musa (Moses)! We cannot endure one kind of food. So invoke your Lord for us to bring forth for us of what the earth grows, its herbs, its cucumbers, itsFum(wheat or garlic), its lentils and its onions. He said, Would you exchange that which is better for that which is lower? Go you down to any town and you shall find what you want! And they were covered with humiliation and misery, and they drew on themselves the Wrath of Allah. That was because they used to disbelieve theAyat(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah and killed the Prophets wrongfully. That was because they disobeyed and used to transgress the bounds (in their disobedience to Allah, i.e. commit crimes and sins). 62.Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians,whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. 63.And (O Children of Israel, remember) when We took your covenant and We raised above you the Mount (saying): Hold fast to that which We have given you, and remember that which is therein so that you may becomeAl-Muttaqun(the pious - see V.2:2). 64.Then after that you turned away. Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allah upon you, indeed you would have been among the losers. 65.And indeed you knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath(i.e. Saturday). We said to them: Be you monkeys, despised and rejected. 66.So We made this punishment an example to their own and to succeeding generations and a lesson to those who areAl-Muttaqun(the pious - see V.2:2). 67.And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: Verily, Allah commands you that you slaughter a cow. They said, Do you make fun of us? He said, I take Allahs Refuge from being amongAl-Jahilun(the ignorants or the foolish).
