IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[20:77]
AND, INDEED, [a time came when] We thus inspired Moses: "Go forth with My servants by night, and strike out for them a dry path through the sea; [and] fear not of being overtaken, and dread not [the sea]."

* v.77 : I.e., after all the trials which the Israelites had to undergo in Egypt, and after the plagues with which Pharaoh and his followers were afflicted (cf. 7:130 ff.).
* Referring to the phrase “strike out (idrib) for them a dry path through the sea,” Tabarī explains it as meaning “choose (ittakhidh) for them a dry path.” See also 26:63-66 and the corresponding notes 33 and 35.
