وَرَفَعْنَا
فَوْقَهُمُ
الطُّورَ
بِمِيثَاقِهِمْ
وَقُلْنَا
لَهُمُ
ادْخُلُوا
الْبَابَ
سُجَّدًا
وَقُلْنَا
لَهُمْ
لَا
تَعْدُوا
فِي
السَّبْتِ
وَأَخَذْنَا
مِنْهُم
مِّيثَاقًا
غَلِيظًا

We raised Mount (Sinai) above them because of Our solemn promise to them. Also, We told them to prostrate themselves when entering the gate (of the holy house) and not to commit transgression on the Sabbath. We made a solemn covenant with them.
