5.21 . O my people! Go into the holy land which Allah hath ordained for you . Turn not in flight , for surely ye turn back as losers :
5. 5.22 . They said : O Moses! Lo! a giant people ( dwell ) therein , and lo! we go not in till they go forth from thence . When they go forth , then we will enter ( not till then ) .
5. 5.23 . Then outspake two of those who feared ( their Lord , men ) unto whom Allah had been gracious : Enter in upon them by the gate , for if ye enter by it , lo! ye will be victorious . So put your trust ( in Allah ) if ye are indeed believers .
5. 5.24 . They said : O Moses! We will never enter ( the land ) while they are in it . So go thou and thy Lord and fight! We will sit here .
5. 5.25 . He said : My Lord! I have control of none but myself and my brother , so distinguish between us and the wrongdoing folk .
5. 5.26 . ( Their Lord ) said : For this the land will surely be forbidden them for forty years that they will . wander in the earth , bewildered . So grieve not over the wrongdoing folk .
5. 5.27 . But recite unto them with truth the tale of the two sons of Adam , how they offered each a sacrifice , and it was accepted from the one of them and it was not accepted from the other . ( The one ) said : I will surely kill thee . ( The other ) answered : Allah accepteth only from those who ward off ( evil ) .
5. 5.28 . Even if thou stretch out thy hand against me to kill me , I shall not stretch out my hand against thee to kill thee , lo! I fear Allah , the Lord of the Worlds .
5. 5.29 . Lo! I would rather thou shouldst bear the punishment of the sin against me and thine own sin and become one of the owners of the Fire . That is the reward of evil doers .
5. 5.30 . But ( the other ' s ) mind imposed on him the killing of his brother , so he slew him and became one of the losers .
