وَإِذْ And when قَالَ said مُوسَىٰ Musa لِقَوْمِهِۦ to his people يَـٰقَوْمِ O my people إِنَّكُمْ Indeed, you ظَلَمْتُمْ [you] have wronged أَنفُسَكُم yourselves بِٱتِّخَاذِكُمُ by your taking ٱلْعِجْلَ the calf فَتُوبُوٓا۟ So turn in repentance إِلَىٰ to بَارِئِكُمْ your Creator فَٱقْتُلُوٓا۟ and kill أَنفُسَكُمْ yourselves ذَٰلِكُمْ That خَيْرٌۭ (is) better لَّكُمْ for you عِندَ with بَارِئِكُمْ your Creator فَتَابَ Then He turned عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ towards you إِنَّهُۥ Indeed He هُوَ He ٱلتَّوَّابُ (is) the-returning ٱلرَّحِيمُ the Most Merciful ٥٤
And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves [i.e., the guilty among you]. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.
