* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ يٰبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ أَنجَيْنَاكُمْ مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَوَاعَدْنَاكُمْ جَانِبَ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلأَيْمَنَ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ }

O Children of Israel truly We delivered you from your enemy Pharaoh by drowning him and We made a tryst with you on the right side of the Tūr Mount in order to give Moses the Torah that it may be implemented it by you and We sent down to you manna and quails namely turunjabīn citrus fruit and the quail. The ones being addressed in the vocative by ‘O Children of Israel’ are those Jews living at the time of the Prophet s and they are addressed with reference to the graces which God bestowed on their forefathers at the time of the prophet Moses as a preface to what God now says to them
