| |10* Behold, thy Lord called Moses: "Go to the people of iniquity,-  
| |11* "The people of the Pharaoh: will they not fear Allah?"  
| |12* He said: "O my Lord! I do fear that they will charge me with falsehood:  
| |13* "My breast will be straitened. And my tongue will not speak (plainly): so send unto Aaron.  
| |14* "And (further), they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me."  
| |15* Allah said: "By no means! Proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call).  
| |16* "So go forth, both of you, to Pharaoh, and say: 'We have been sent by the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds;  
| |17* " 'Send thou with us the Children of Israel.'"  
| |18* (Pharaoh) said: "Did we not cherish thee as a child among us, and didst thou not stay in our midst many years of thy life?
