Approval of the Requests:
That is, all the requests you have presented are accepted. In addition to these favors, We have already bestowed favors upon you before. After this, Allah Almighty reminds Sayyiduna Musa ؑ one by one of those favors that were bestowed upon him from his birth up to the present, and their details are mentioned in Surah Al-Qasas. Here, the only purpose is to convey that you were created specifically for this mission, and your upbringing has been under Our supervision for this very task. The qualities needed to confront a tyrant king like Pharaoh were instilled in you, and you were chosen for this task.
