Footnotes
1 - This is a severe warning from Allāh against rebellion.
And We inscribed for him in the Tablets, that is, the Tablets of the Torah - these were made from the Lotetree of the Paradise, or of chrysolite or emerald, and they were either seven or ten - about all things, one needs in religion, as an admonition and a detailing, an explanation, of all things (li-kulli shay'in substitutes for the previous genitive construction [min kulli shay', 'about all things']). 'Take it then (there is an implicit qulnaa, 'We said', before this [fa-kudhhaa, 'take it then']) firmly, seriously and earnestly, and enjoin your people to adhere to the fairest [precepts] in it. I shall show you the abode of the wicked, [of] Pharaoh and his followers, and that is Egypt, that you may take an example from them.
