In plain wordsEditorial
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
One hundred and thirty-five verses given over to Moses, from the fire seen at a distance on the road to everything that follows: the staff, the hand, Pharaoh, the magicians who prostrate and will not recant, the sea, and the calf made in his absence. It opens with disconnected letters and the statement that this was not sent down to cause distress.
Every verse as a number; tap one to open it. Shaded numbers mark verses where the translations differ most.

Meccan Medinan
Counted from the text and the spine at build time, not written into the page. Opening letters are derived from the edition's orthography: an opening token of at most five letters carrying none of its vocalisation marks. The revelation position is reproduced from Revelation order as encoded by the Tanzil metadata, which does not name whose ordering it is.
