وَلَمَّا
رَجَعَ
مُوسَى
إِلَى
قَوْمِهِ
غَضْبَانَ
أَسِفًا
قَالَ
بِئْسَمَا
خَلَفْتُمُونِي
مِن
بَعْدِي
أَعَجِلْتُمْ
أَمْرَ
رَبِّكُمْ
وَأَلْقَى
الْأَلْوَاحَ
وَأَخَذَ
بِرَأْسِ
أَخِيهِ
يَجُرُّهُ
إِلَيْهِ
قَالَ
ابْنَ
أُمَّ
إِنَّ
الْقَوْمَ
اسْتَضْعَفُونِي
وَكَادُوا
يَقْتُلُونَنِي
فَلَا
تُشْمِتْ
بِيَ
الْأَعْدَاءَ
وَلَا
تَجْعَلْنِي
مَعَ
الْقَوْمِ
الظَّالِمِينَ

When Moses returned to his people with anger and sorrow, he said, "What you have done in my absence is certainly evil. Why were you hasty about the commandments of your Lord?" He threw away the Tablets (which contained the commandments of God), grabbed his brother and started to pull him to himself. His brother begged him saying, "Son of my mother, the people suppressed me and almost killed me. Do not humiliate me before the enemies or call me unjust".
