Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

So go to him and tell him: We are the messengers of your Lord - O Pharaoh - so send the Israelites with us and do not punish them by killing their sons and letting their women live. We have brought to you a sign from your Lord proving our truthfulness. Safety from Allah’s punishment is for those who have faith and follow Allah’s guidance.
