The people of the Scripture (Jews) ask you to cause a book to descend upon them from heaven. Indeed they asked Musa (Moses) for even greater than that, when they said: "Show us Allah in public," but they were struck with thunder clap and lightning for their wickedness. Then they worshipped the calf even after clear proofs, evidences, and signs had come to them. (Even) so We forgave them. And We gave Musa (Moses) a clear proof of authority.
اهل كتاب از تو مى‌خواهند كه برايشان كتابى از آسمان نازل كنى. اينان بزرگتر از اين را از موسى طلب كردند و گفتند: خدا را به آشكار به ما بنماى. به سبب اين سخن كفرآميزشان صاعقه آنان را فرو گرفت. و پس از آنكه معجزه‌هايى برايشان آمده بود گوساله‌اى را به خدايى گرفتند و ما آنان را بخشيديم و موسى را حجتى آشكار ارزانى داشتيم.
