15-1. Allah Almighty gave reassurance that both of you should go and convey My message to them; We will protect you from the fears that you have. The "signs" refer to those proofs with which every prophet is made aware, or those miracles that were given to Prophet Musa ؑ, such as the shining hand (Yad-e-Bayda) and the staff.

15-2. That is, whatever you say and whatever he replies in response, We are listening, so there is no need to worry. By assigning you the duty of prophethood, We will not become unconcerned with your protection; rather, there is help and support.
