An-Nisá 4:153 يسالك اهل الكتاب ان تنزل عليهم كتابا من السماء فقد سالوا موسى اكبر من ذالك فقالوا ارنا الله جهرة فاخذتهم الصاعقة بظلمهم ثم اتخذوا العجل من بعد ما جاءتهم البينات فعفونا عن ذالك واتينا موسى سلطانا مبينا ١٥٣

The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven. But they had asked of Moses [even] greater than that and said, "Show us Allāh outright," so the thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf [for worship] after clear evidences had come to them, and We pardoned that. And We gave Moses a clear authority.

The People of the Book demand that you ˹O Prophet˺ bring down for them a revelation in writing from heaven.¹ They demanded what is even greater than this from Moses, saying, “Make Allah visible to us!” So a thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf for worship after receiving clear signs. Still We forgave them for that ˹after their repentance˺ and gave Moses compelling proof.
