The Children of Israel
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[17:6]
And after a time We allowed you to prevail against them once again, and aided you with wealth and offspring, and made you more numerous [than ever].


* v.6 : Lit., “We gave back to you the turn against them” – apparently a reference to the return of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity in the last quarter of the sixth century B.C., the partial re-establishment of their state, and the building of a new temple in the place of the one that had been destroyed.
