Dan (kenangkanlah) ketika kami berjanji kepada Nabi Musa (untuk memberi Taurat kepadanya sesudah ia bersiap selama) empat puluh malam. Kemudian, setelah ia pergi, kamu menyembah (patung) anak lembu, dan kamu sebenarnya orang-orang yang zalim (terhadap diri sendiri).
Penjelasan
The two readings either have the same meaning, or the first includes an element of mutuality: God committed to give Moses (pbuh) revelation and prophethood, and Moses committed to arrive at the Mount at the appointed time and fulfill the responsibility given to him. In the other meaning (and the second reading), it means that God “promised” in the sense of “commanded” because the command contained honour and status for Moses [Ibn ‘Ashur].
