Then God struck them down as they looked, but unlike Pharoah God revived them (resurrected) after their death. Yet despite all this God continued to bless them yet they continued to disbelieve and be unappreciative. \\n[2:57] We shaded you with clouds (in Sinai), and sent down to you manna and quails: "Eat from the good things we provided for you." They did not hurt us (by rebelling); they only hurt their own souls. \\nLack of Confidence in God: They Refuse to Enter Jerusalem\\xa0 \\n[2:58] Recall that we said, "Enter this town, where you will find as many provisions as you like. Just enter the gate humbly (sajdeh), and treat the people nicely. We will then forgive your sins, and increase the reward for the pious." [2:59] But the wicked among them carried out commands other than the commands given to them. Consequently, we sent down upon the transgressors condemnation from the sky, due to their wickedness.\\n[5:24] They said, "O Moses, we will never enter it, so long as they are in it. Therefore, go\\u2014you and your Lord \\u2014and fight. We are sitting right here." [5:25] He said, "My Lord, I can only control myself and my brother. So allow us to part company with the wicked people." [5:26] He said, "Henceforth, it is forbidden them for forty years, during which they will roam the earth aimlessly. Do not grieve over such wicked people."\\n[2:60] Recall that Moses sought water for his people. We said, "Strike the rock with your staff." Whereupon, twelve springs gushed out therefrom. The members of each tribe knew their own water. Eat and drink from GOD\'s provisions, and do not roam the earth corruptingly. \\nIsrael Rebels\\xa0 \\n[2:61] Recall that you said, "O Moses, we can no longer tolerate one kind of food. Call upon your Lord to produce for us such earthly crops as beans, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions." He said, "Do you wish to substitute that which is inferior for that which is good? Go down (ih\\u2019bi\\u1e6d\\u016b) to Egypt, where you can find what you asked for." They have incurred condemnation, humiliation, and disgrace, and brought upon themselves wrath from GOD. This is because they rejected GOD\'s revelations, and killed the prophets unjustly. This is because they disobeyed and transgressed. \\n\\n2\\n\\n\\n61\\n\\n\\n31\\n\\n\\n\\u0627\\u0647\\u0652\\u0628\\u0650\\u0637\\u064f\\u0648\\u0627\\n\\n\\nGo down [you all] (to)\\n\\n\\nih\'bi\\u1e6d\\u016b\\n\\n\\n\\u0647 \\u0628 \\u0637\\n\\n\\n2\\n\\n\\n61\\n\\n\\n32\\n\\n\\n\\u0645\\u0650\\u0635\\u0652\\u0631\\u064b\\u0627\\n\\n\\nEgypt\\n\\n\\nmi\\u1e63\'ran\\n\\n\\n\\u0645 \\u0635 \\u0631\\n\\n\\xa0\\nSee this same word used repeatedly towards Satan when he refused to prostrate and follow God\\u2019s command, and also towards Adam when'
