واذ قال موسى لقومه يا قوم انكم ظلمتم انفسكم باتخاذكم العجل فتوبوا الى بارئكم فاقتلوا انفسكم ذلكم خير لكم عند بارئكم فتاب عليكم انه هو التواب الرحيم

And remember Moses said To his people: "O my people! Ye have indeed wronged Yourselves by your worship of the calf: So turn (in repentance) to your Maker, And slay yourselves (the wrong-doers); That will be better for you In the sight of your Maker." Then He turned towards you (in forgiveness): For He is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
