60. And
remember Moses prayed for water for his people; We said "Strike the rock with
thy staff." Then gushed forth therefrom twelve springs. Each group knew its own
place for water. So eat and drink of the sustenance provided by Allah. And do no
evil nor mischief on the (face of the) earth.
61. And
remember ye said: "O Moses! We cannot endure one kind of food (always); so
beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth its
pot-herbs, and cucumbers, its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye
exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find
what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery: they drew on
themselves the wrath of Allah. This because they went on rejecting the Signs of
Allah and slaying His Messengers without just cause. This because they rebelled
and went on transgressing.
