And [remember] when you said, ‘Moses! We can no longer put up with one kind of food. Pray to your Lord, then, to bring forth for us some of what the earth produces of green herbs, cucumber, garlic, lentils and onions’. He said, ‘Would you take a lesser thing in exchange for what is much better? Go down to any land and you shall have what you asked for’. Ignominy and humiliation were stamped upon them and they incurred the wrath of God, because they denied His revelations and slew prophets against all right, and because they persisted in their disobedience and transgression.
