my soul, so forgive me. Then He
forgave him. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

S: He said: My Lord! surely I have done harm to myself, so do Thou
protect me. So He protected him; surely He is the Forgiving, the
Merciful.

Y: He said: "O my Lord! For that Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace on me,
never shall I be a help to those who sin!"

P: He said: My Lord! Forasmuch as Thou hast favoured me, I will
nevermore be a supporter of the guilty.

S: He said: My Lord! because Thou hast bestowed a favor on me, I shall
never be a backer of the guilty.

Y: So he saw the morning in the city, looking about, in a state of fear,
when behold, the man who had, the day before, sought his help called
aloud for his help (again). Moses said to him: "Thou art truly, it is
clear, a quarrelsome fellow!"

P: And morning found him in the city, fearing, vigilant, when behold! he

said: O Musa! do you intend to kill me as you killed a person
yesterday? You desire nothing but that you should be a tyrant in the
land, and you do not desire to be of those who act aright.

Y: And there came a man, running, from the furthest end of the City. He
said: "O Moses! the Chiefs are taking counsel together about thee, to
slay thee: so get thee away, for I do give thee sincere advice."

P: And a man came from the uttermost part of the city, running. He said:
O Moses! Lo! the chiefs take counsel against thee to slay thee;

S: And a man came
