قال لن ارسله معكم حتى تؤتون موثقا من الله لتاتنني به الا ان يحاط بكم فلما اتوه موثقهم قال الله على ما نقول وكيل

(Jacob) said: "Never will I Send him with you until Ye swear a solemn oath to me, In God's name, that ye Will be sure to bring him back To me unless ye are yourselves Hemmed in (and made powerless)." And when they had sworn Their solemn oath, He said: "Over all That we say, be God The Witness and Guardian!"
