( وأن ألق عصاك فلما رآها تهتز ) تتحرك ، ( كأنها جان ) وهي الحية الصغيرة من سرعة حركتها ، ( ولى مدبرا ) هاربا منها ، ( ولم يعقب ) لم يرجع ، فنودي : ( يا موسى أقبل ولا تخف إنك من الآمنين )
“And throw down your staff.” So Moses threw it down, fulfilling the command of his Lord. When he saw it move and slither as if it were a snake, he turned, fleeing in fear of it and did not return. His Lord then called him: “O Moses! Come forward and do not fear it, because you one of those who are safe from it and other things you may fear.”
