20.51 . He said : What then is the state of the generations of old?
20. 20.52 . He said : The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a Record . My Lord neither erreth nor forgetteth ,
20. 20.53 . Who hath appointed the earth as a bed and hath threaded roads for you therein and hath sent down water from the sky and thereby We have brought forth divers kinds of vegetation ,
20. 20.54 . ( Saying ) : Eat ye and feed your cattle . Lo! herein verily are portents for men of thought .
20. 20.55 . Thereof We created you , and thereunto we return you and thence We bring you forth a second time .
20. 20.56 . And We verily did show him all Our tokens , but he denied them and refused .
20. 20.57 . He said : Hast come to drive us out from our land by thy magic , O Moses?
20. 20.58 . But we surely can produce magic the like thereof ; so appoint a tryst between us and you , which neither we nor thou shall fail to keep , at a place convenient ( to us both ) .
20. 20.59 . ( Moses ) said : Your tryst shall be the day of the feast , and let the people assemble when the sun hath risen high .
20. 20.60 . Then Pharaoh went and gathered his strength came ( to the appointed tryst ) .
