92. And indeed, Mosesؑ came to you with clear miracles [109], yet in his absence you took the calf as a god, and you were wrongdoers.
[109] These clear miracles were not limited to only the staff of Musa and the shining hand. Rather, there were countless other miracles as well, such as the parting of the sea and the drowning of Pharaoh, the gushing forth of twelve springs from the rock, the descent of manna and quails in the wilderness, and so on. Even after witnessing such clear miracles, you did not believe in the divinity of Allah, and when you got a little opportunity during the absence of Musa, you immediately started worshipping the calf again. What greater injustice could there be than this?
