Aya 93
93
وَإِذ أَخَذنا ميثاقَكُم وَرَفَعنا فَوقَكُمُ الطّورَ خُذوا ما آتَيناكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاسمَعوا ۖ قالوا سَمِعنا وَعَصَينا وَأُشرِبوا في قُلوبِهِمُ العِجلَ بِكُفرِهِم ۚ قُل بِئسَما يَأمُرُكُم بِهِ إيمانُكُم إِن كُنتُم مُؤمِنينَ

N. J. Dawood

When We made a covenant with you and raised the Mount above you, saying: ‘Grasp fervently what We have given you and hear Our commandments,’ you1 replied: ‘We hear but disobey.’. For their unbelief they were made to drink down the calf into their hearts.2 Say: ‘Evil is that. to which your faith prompts you if you are indeed believers.’
  • Lit., they.
  • Cf. Exodus xxxii, 20.
