We recite to you truthfully from the story of Moses and Pharaoh, for people who believe.
- Thomas Cleary

We wish to be kindly to those who have been treated contemptuously on earth, and make them leaders and make them the heirs,

and to empower them on earth, and through them show Pharaoh and Haman and their armies what they had been on guard against.

And We inspired the mother of Moses, “Nurse him, but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and don’t be afraid or aggrieved, for We will restore him to you, and We will make him a messenger.”

Then Pharaoh’s people took him in, to be an opponent and a sorrow to them; for Pharaoh, Haman, and their troops were sinners.
- Thomas Cleary
The wife of Pharaoh said, “This is a joy for me and for you; do not kill him. Perhaps he may be useful to us, or we may adopt him as a son.” And they were not aware.
