61. And recall when you said O Musa! (110)We can never be satisfied (111) with one kind of food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us some of the varied produce of the earth, such as vegetables and cucumbers and wheat and lentils and onions". He (Musa) said: "Would you exchange what is better(112)for what is less? Go back to Egypt any town and there you will find all that you have asked for". And they were covered (113) with humiliation and poverty and incurred the Wrath of Allah because they (repeatedly) disbelieved in the Signs of Allah and killed the Prophet unjustly (114).This was because they were disobedient and were (habitually) exceeding the limits.
