Surat Al A`raf: (160-161)

{وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطاً أُمَماً وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى إِذِ اسْتَسْقَاهُ قَوْمُهُ أَنِ اضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ فَانبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْناً قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوَى كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَـكِن كَانُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ} [الأعراف: 160]

160- We have divided the Children of Israel into 12 groups based on their tribes then We revealed to their Prophet Moses when his people asked him for water that hit the rock with your stick. Thereupon, 12 fountains gushed forth as a miracle: A fountain for each tribe.

We have bestowed upon them while they were in difficult conditions by sending white clouds to protect them from the burning heat of the sun. It is said that clouds used to walk with them and stop with them.

Moreover, We sent down to them delicious food that is easy to collect which is Al Mann that they could find on trees and Common Quail. So, eat from that delicious food, but you oppressed and denied, so the bad consequence of your oppression was against yourselves.

{وَإِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْكُنُواْ هَـذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ وَكُلُواْ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُولُواْ حِطَّةٌ وَادْخُلُواْ الْبَابَ سُجَّداً نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِيئَاتِكُمْ سَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ} [الأعراف: 161]

161- Remind the Jews of what we had said to their ancestors: Enter that village —perhaps He means Jerusalem—, stay therein, eat from its food and fruits as you want, and say upon entering "Hittah" which means forgive our sins. Your entrance must be in reverence and modesty, so when you do so, we shall forgive your sins and add more benevolence to the benevolent.
