وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ اَسْبَاطًا اُمَمًاۜ وَاَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلٰى مُوسٰٓى اِذِ اسْتَسْقٰيهُ قَوْمُهُٓ اَنِ اضْرِبْ بِعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَۚ فَانْبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًاۜ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ اُنَاسٍ مَشْرَبَهُمْۜ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْغَمَامَ وَاَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوٰىۜ كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْۜ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلٰكِنْ كَانُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٦٠

English Translation
160We had divided them into twelve tribes. When his people asked Moses for water, We revealed to him: "Strike the rock with your staff." Twelve springs gushed forth from it, and each tribe knew which spring to drink from. We also shaded them with clouds in the desert and provided them with manna and salwa/manna and quail meat, and We said: Eat of the clean and good things We have provided for you! They did not harm Us; they were only wronging themselves.
