And we divided them into twelve subclans/ tribes, nations. And We inspired to Moses as his people asked him for water to hit the rock with your staff, so poured out of it twelve springs. Each people knew their place of drinking and we shaded them with the clouds and brought down on them the Manna and Salwa. Eat of the good that we provided you (plural). And they did not harm us with their injustices, but they indeed harmed themselves.
I left the words MANNA and SALWA untranslated because they are the names of the food that came to them and the description of the food is not something that is available to us in detail or certain manner. However, MANNA is derived from the root M-N-N and therefore suggests that it is a great gift of great value in all it’s ways. The term SALWA is derived from the root S-L-W and it suggests something that will help them forget their worries either because of it’s great taste or other features about it that make it enjoyable to eat.
I also translated the last part as the consequence of the act of injustice because sin is an act of injustice against God. However, God is never harmed of it but it returns back and harms the sinner and therefore it is an act of injustice against us as humans and sinners and we are the ones that will suffer the consequences unless Allah protects us from it. That is also why the term MAGHFIRAH is translated as forgiveness when linguistically it means protection. So, we are asking to be protected from the consequences of our actions through that term.
