Salaam all,

This is 2:93
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَ خُذُواْ مَآ ءَاتَينكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاسْمَعُواْ قَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَأُشْرِبُواْ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْعِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِهِ إِيمَانُكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Wa-ith akhathna meethaqakumwarafaAAna fawqakumu alttoora khuthooma ataynakum biquwwatin waismaAAoo qaloosamiAAna waAAasayna waoshriboo feequloobihimu alAAijla bikufrihim qul bi/sama ya/murukumbihi eemanukum in kuntum mu/mineena

Note:
The AYA says “And as WE (GOD) took your assurance and raised above you the mountain. Take what WE made come to you with strength and hear and understand. They said: WE heard and we resisted, and they were soaked the baby cow in their hearts and minds by their covered mindedness. Say: hardship what your process of attaining safety orders you to do, if you were feeling safe (in that process)

My personal note:
The AYA talks again about the covenant between the Israelites and GOD. It mentions that the Israelites were asked to hear and understand the oat and take it with strength. However, they said we understood and we resisted or disobeyed. The AYA also talks that the baby cow that was worshipped was soaked into some of their hearts and minds by closed mindedness. The AYA talks that this process of belief and trust and attaining safety leads to hardship if that is what they trust.

This AYA is a reminder to all of us to keep our hearts and minds open to GOD and his messages. IT also invites us to reexamine our systems of belief and see if they are leading us in the right direction or not. The AYA suggests that the right system of belief should lead to good results and not to hardship.
