Read in Context

Chapter 20, Page 318, Juz 16

83. And (it was said): What hath made thee hasten from thy folk, O Moses? 84. He said: They are close upon my track. I hastened unto Thee, my Lord, that Thou mightest be well pleased. 85. He said: Lo! We have tried thy folk in thine absence, and As-Samiri hath misled them. 86. Then Moses went back unto his folk, angry and sad. He said: O my people! Hath not your Lord promised you a fair promise? Did the time appointed then appear too long for you, or did ye wish that wrath from your Lord should come upon you, that ye broke tryst with me? 87. They said: We broke not tryst with thee of our own will, but we were laden with burdens of ornaments of the folk, then cast them (in the fire), for thus As-Samiri proposed. 88. Then he produced for them a calf, of saffron hue, which gave forth a lowing sound. And they cried: This is your god and the god of Moses, but he hath forgotten. 89. See they not, then, that it returneth no saying unto them and possesseth for them neither hurt nor use?
