وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ (22)
(26:22) As for the favour of which you have reminded me, the fact is that you had reduced the Israelites to bondsmen." *18
*18) That is, "If you had not been unjust and cruel to the Israelites. I should not have been brought to your house for upbringing. It was only on account of your barbarism that my mother put me in a basket and cast it into the river. Had it not been so, I should have been happily brought up in my own house. Therefore, it dces not behove you to remind me of your favour of bri nging me up in your house."
