Salaam all,

Waawrathna alqawma allatheena kanoo yustadAAafoona mashariqa alardi wamagharibaha allatee barakna feeha watammat kalimatu rabbika alhusna AAalabanee israeela bima sabaroo wadammarna ma kana yasnaAAu firAAawnu waqawmuhu wama kanoo yaAArishoona

The Aya says:
And we made the people that were treated as powerless inherit the easts and wests of the land that we blessed. And the beautiful statement of your (singular) nurturing Lord was perfected upon the children of Israel by their patience/ self restraint. And We destroyed what Pharaoh used to produce, he and his people and what they used to roof.

My personal note:
The term easts and wests was used because the words used plural in the sentence. It is plural of risings of the sun and settings of the sun. This point to the fact that the sun rises in diferent places and sets in diferent places as the seasons change the places of rising and setting of the sun. The blessed land is a term that used in the Qur’an several times and points to the lands around Jerusalem and in the general understanding of the books of Tafsir points to the area that is called in Arabic SHAM or greater Syria.

I did translated YASNAaa as produce and this is a word that may point to manufacturing to an Arabic speaker of today but it covers all sorts of production whether manufacturing or agriculture and so on. Also, the term YAAaRISHOON was translated as roofing because that is a more encompassing meaning of the term and it covers anything that acts as a barrier to what is above it whether it is a roof/ ceiling or arbor and so on. Many people of the Tafsir point to their palaces that they build and so on.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Faintaqamna minhum faaghraqnahum fee alyammi biannahum kaththaboo biayatina wakanoo AAanha ghafileena
The Aya says:
Therefore, We punished them as payback, so We drowned them in the sea because they declared our signs untrue and they were ignoring them.

My personal note:
The Term GHAFILEEN which is the last word in the Aya means not paying attention. Sometimes, this is because there is not much to pay attention to and at times, as in here, it is because of ignoring and wanting to deliberately not pay attention to something that is looking you in the eye.

This is to be contrasted with the Qur’anic order to use TAQWA which is basically paying close attention to Allah in every thought and word that we say.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Faintaqamna: So we did our punishment/ so we took our payback of punishment/ we got our revenge
Note: FA means then or so or therefore. INTAQAMNA is derived from the root N-Qaf-M and it means pay back for bad actions or words with punishment. It can be extended to detesting as well.

Falamma kashafna AAanhumu alrrijza ila ajalin hum balighoohu itha hum yankuthoona
The Aya says:
So, when we cleared the big affliction from them to a time they will reach, they then renege.
My personal note:
The aya continues the issue of the continuing arrogance of the people of Pharaoh. Once the affliction was removed they reneged on their promise.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Falamma: So when
Kashafna: We removed/ we cleared
Note: the root is K-SH-F and it means removing what was a cover or barrier either to vision or other forms. Conceptually it takes the different meanings of mainly remover of harm or remover of barrier to vision or other forms of perception. In this cotext KASHIF means remover of the harm.

For the verb, it means to move rhythmically and that is to tremor (as a sign of fear or anger or weakness or all the three). RIJZ is a noun for this movement or for what causes it. Therefore, here, the point that is being made is that anger and fear and weakness were sent on those people.

Note: the root is N-K-TH and it means to break apart what was done. One concrete application is the damaging of the thread after it had been spun.

Walamma waqaAAa AAalayhimu alrrijzu qaloo ya moosa odAAu lana rabbaka bima AAahida AAindaka lain kashafta AAanna alrrijza lanuminanna laka walanursilanna maAAaka banee israeela
The Aya says:
And when the severe affliction fell upon them, they said: “O Moses, supplicate to your nurturing Lord for us, by what He honored you. If you remove the affliction from us then we will indeed believe you and send with you the children of Israel”.

My personal note:
The term RIJZ points to a trembling which points to severe affliction or tremor of the earth. In this case it could be pointing to taking their first borns.

The term AAaHIDA AAinDAKA points to the high point of honor that Allah gave to Moses and made him one of the highest and best human beings ever.

The other point that I wanted to bring about is that often times the meaning of the word is controlled by the small letters that follow. In this case the Li and BI. So, when the term AMANA which I usually translate as safety and trust is followed by BI, then it encompasses, being safe in the entity mentioned at a close level and therefore includes belief in presence of, the fact that the entity aims for only what is good for us and for protecting us and that our safety is attained through and by that entity. However, if it is followed by LI then it carries the meaning of believing the entity in what it communicates and trusting that it says the truth. In this case, it was NUMINANNA LAKA which I translated as believe you and may be trust that you are saying the truth.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Walamma: and when
waqaAAa: fell/ took effect
Note: the root is W-Qaf-Ain and it means one entity falling on another, mainly things falling on the ground and causing a sound or effect. It is often used for the raining hitting the ground.

KASHAFTA is an action that is completed. It means: the action of removing the object (ALRRIJZ- the trembleing/ the high punishment) happened by the subject (second person singular).

Note: the root is R-J-Z and it means a rhythmic movement for the noun and this is mainly a tremor of the body which happens in anger, weakness and fear. It is also used in poetry.
