And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word [i.e., decree] of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.
And We bequeathed upon the people who were oppressed, through bondage, namely, the Israelites, the eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which We had blessed, with water and trees (allatee baaraknaa feehaa, 'which We had blessed', is an adjectival qualification of al-ard, 'the land'), and this was Syria, and the fair word of your Lord was fulfilled, which was His saying, exalted be He: Yet We desired to be gracious to those who were oppressed in the land ... to the end [of the verse, Q. 28:5], for the Children of Israel because they endured patiently, persecution at the hands of their enemy; and We destroyed utterly what Pharaoh and his folk had been creating, by way of architecture, and what they had been erecting (read ya'rishoon or ya'rushoon), [what they had been] raising of edifices.
