37وَلَقَد مَنَنّا عَلَيكَ مَرَّةً أُخرىٰMuhammad Asad"And, indeed, We bestowed Our favour upon thee at a time long since past,1Lit., "at another time", i.e., the time of Moses' childhood and youth, which is recalled in verses 38-40. For a fuller explanation of the subsequent references to that period - the Pharaonic persecution of the children of Israel and the killing of their new-born males, the rescue of the infant Moses and his adoption by Pharaoh's family, his killing of the Egyptian, and his subsequent flight from Egypt - see 28:3-21, where the story is narrated in greater detail.
