Aya 154
154
وَرَفَعنا فَوقَهُمُ الطّورَ بِميثاقِهِم وَقُلنا لَهُمُ ادخُلُوا البابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُلنا لَهُم لا تَعدوا فِي السَّبتِ وَأَخَذنا مِنهُم ميثاقًا غَليظًا

Bijan Moeinian

I raised the Mount Sinai over them and took the most serious covenant from them [to follow the orders of God. But when ] I asked them to enter the city [of Jerusalem and purify it from the disbelievers, they said: “Moses, you and your God go conquer the city and then we will enter in!] I also asked them to take off on Saturdays and rest [but they disobeyed this commandment too.]
