Aya 153
153
يَسأَلُكَ أَهلُ الكِتابِ أَن تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيهِم كِتابًا مِنَ السَّماءِ ۚ فَقَد سَأَلوا موسىٰ أَكبَرَ مِن ذٰلِكَ فَقالوا أَرِنَا اللَّهَ جَهرَةً فَأَخَذَتهُمُ الصّاعِقَةُ بِظُلمِهِم ۚ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذُوا العِجلَ مِن بَعدِ ما جاءَتهُمُ البَيِّناتُ فَعَفَونا عَن ذٰلِكَ ۚ وَآتَينا موسىٰ سُلطانًا مُبينًا

Qaribullah & Darwish

The People of the Book ask you to bring down upon them a Book from heaven. Of Moses they asked greater than that, they said to him: 'Show us Allah openly' And a thunderbolt took them for their evil doing. Then they took to themselves the calf, after the clear proofs had come to them, yet We forgave that and We gave Moses clear authority.
