160. We divided them into twelve tribes, nations; and We inspired Moses, when his 
people asked him for water, saying: Smite with thy staff the rock! And there gushed 
forth therefrom twelve springs, so that each tribe knew their drinking place. And 
we caused the white cloud to overshadow them and sent down for them the manna and 
the quails (saying): Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you. They 
wronged Us not, but they were wont to wrong themselves.
Yusuf Ali
160. We divided them into twelve tribes or nations.  We directed Moses by inspiration 
when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": 
out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: each group knew its own place for water.  
We gave them the shade of clouds and sent down to them manna and quails (saying): 
"Eat of the good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled): to Us they 
did no harm but they harmed their own souls.





M.Pickthall
161. And when it was said unto them: Dwell in this township and eat therefrom whence 
ye will, and say "Repentance, and enter the gate prostrate; We shall forgive you your 
sins; We shall increase (reward) for the right doers.
Yusuf Ali
161. And remember it was said to them: "Dwell in this town and eat therein as ye wish 
but say the word of humility and enter the gate in a posture of humility; We shall 
forgive you your faults; We shall increase (the portion of) those who do good."





M.Pickthall
162. But those of them who did wrong changed the word which had been told them for 
another saying, and We sent down upon them wrath from heaven for their wrongdoing.
Yusuf Ali
162. But the transgressors among them changed the word from that which had been given 
them; so We sent on them a plague from heaven for that they repeatedly transgressed.
