[Commanding him], "Make full coats of mail and calculate [precisely] the links, and work [all of you] righteousness. Indeed I, of what you do, am Seeing."
And We said: 'Fashion, from it, long coats of mail - complete suits of armour which the person wearing it drags behind him along the ground - and measure [well] the links', that is, in the weaving of the coats (the maker of these is called sarraad). In other words, make them so that the rings thereof are arranged properly. And act, O family of David, together with him, righteously. Indeed I am Seer of what you do, and will requite you for it accordingly.
