فَتَابَ
عَلَيْكُمْ
إِنَّهُ
هُوَ
التَّوَّابُ
الرَّحِيمُ

Moses said to his people, "My people, you have done wrong to yourselves by worshipping the calf. Seek pardon from your Lord and slay yourselves." He told them that it would be best for them in the sight of their Lord, Who would forgive them, for He is All-forgiving and All-merciful.
