28.21 . So he escaped from thence , fearing , vigilant . He said : My Lord ! Deliver me from the wrongdoing folk .
28.22 . And when he turned his face toward Midian , he said : Peradventure my Lord will guide me in the right road .
28.23 . And when he came unto the water of Midian he found there a whole tribe of men , watering . And he found apart from them two women keeping , back ( their flocks ) . He said : What aileth you? The two said : We cannot give ( our flocks ) to drink till the shepherds return from the water ; and our father is a very old man .
28.24 . So he watered ( their flock ) for them . Then he turned aside into the shade , and said : My Lord! I am needy of whatever good thou sendest down for me .
28.25 . Then there came unto him one of the two women , walking shyly . She said : Lo! my father biddeth thee , that he may reward thee with a payment for that thou didst water ( the flock ) for us . Then , when he came unto him and told him the ( whole ) story , he said : Fear not! Thou hast escaped from the wrongdoing folk .
28.26 . One of the two women said : O my father! Hire him! For the best ( man ) that thou canst hire is the strong , the trustworthy .
28.27 . He said : Lo! I fain would marry thee to one of these two daughters of mine on condition that thou hirest thyself to me for ( the term of ) eight pilgrimages . Then if thou completest ten it will be of thine own accord , for I would not make it hard for thee . Allah willing , thou wilt find me of the righteous .
28.28 . He said : That ( is settled ) between thee and me . Whichever of the two terms I fulfil , there will be no injustice to me , and Allah is Surety over what we say .
28.29 . Then , when Moses had fulfilled the term , and was traveling with his housefolk , he saw in the distance a fire and said unto his housefolk : Bide ye ( here ) . Lo! I see in the distance a fire ; peradventure I shall bring you tidings thence , or a brand from the fire that you may warm yourselves .
28.30 . And when he reached it , he was called from the right side of the valley in the blessed field , from the tree : O Moses! Lo! I , even I , am Allah , the Lord of the Worlds ;
28.31 . Throw down thy staff . And when he saw it writhing as it had been a demon , he turned to flee headlong , ( and it was said unto him ) : O Moses! Draw nigh and fear not . Lo! thou art of those who are secure .
28.32 . Thrust thy hand into the bosom of thy robe , it will come forth white without hurt . And guard thy heart from fear . Then these shall be two proofs from your Lord unto Pharaoh and his chiefs : Lo! they are evil living folk .
28.33 . He said : My Lord! Lo! I killed a man among them and I fear that they will kill me .
28.34 . My brother Aaron is more eloquent then me in speech . Therefor send him with me as a helper to confirm me . Lo! 1 fear that they will give the lie to me .
28.35 . He said : We will strengthen thine arm with thy brother , and We will give unto you both power so that they cannot reach you for Our portents . Ye twain , and those who follow you , will be the winners .
28.36 . But when Moses came unto them with Our clear tokens , they said : This is naught but invented magic . We never heard of this among our fathers of old .
28.37 . And Moses said : My Lord is best aware of him who bringeth guidance from His presence , and whose will be the sequel of the Home ( of bliss ) . Lo! wrong doers will not be successful .
28.38 . And Pharaoh said : O chiefs! I know not that ye have a god other than me , so kindle for me ( a fire ) , O Haman , to bake the mud ; and set up for me a lofty tower in order that I may survey the god of Moses ; and lo! I deem him of the liars .
28.39 . And he and his hosts were haughty in the land without right , and deemed that they would never be brought back to Us .
28.40 . Therefor We seized him and his hosts , and abandoned them unto the sea . Behold the nature of the consequence for evil doers!
