Al-Baqarah 2:61 واذ قلتم يا موسى لن نصبر على طعام واحد فادع لنا ربك يخرج لنا مما تنبت الارض من بقلها وقثايها وفومها وعدسها وبصلها قال اتستبدلون الذي هو ادنى بالذي هو خير اهبطوا مصرا فان لكم ما سالتم وضربت عليهم الذلة والمسكنة وباءوا بغضب من الله ذالك بانهم كانوا يكفرون بايات الله ويقتلون النبيين بغير الحق ذالك بما عصوا وكانوا يعتدون ٦١

وَقِثَّآئِهَا
وَفُومِهَا
وَعَدَسِهَا
وَبَصَلِهَاۖ

ٱلَّذِي

بِٱلَّذِي
هُوَ
خَيۡرٌۚ
ٱهۡبِطُواْ
مِصۡرٗا
فَإِنَّ
لَكُم
مَّا

وَضُرِبَتۡ
عَلَيۡهِمُ
ٱلذِّلَّةُ

This was because they denied the Signs of Allah2 and slew the Prophets unrightfully.3 All this, because they disobeyed and persistently exceeded the limits (of the Law).
