IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[20:39]
‘Place him in a chest and throw it into the river, and thereupon the river will cast him ashore, [and] one who is an enemy unto Me and an enemy unto him will adopt him.’
"And [thus early] I spread Mine Own love over thee – and [this] in order that thou might be formed under Mine eye.

* v.39 : Lit., “take him” (cf. 28:9). Pharaoh is described as an enemy of God because of his overweening arrogance and cruelty as well as his claim to the status of divinity (see 79:24); and he was, unknowingly, an enemy of the infant Moses inasmuch as he hated and feared the people to whom the latter belonged.
* I.e., “under My protection and in accordance with the destiny which I have decreed for thee”: possibly a reference to Moses’ upbringing within the cultural environment of the royal palace and his subsequent acquisition of the ancient wisdom of Egypt – circumstances which were to qualify him for his future leadership and the special mission that God had in view for him.
