In the next verse it says: “And verily we are a host on our guard.

“Thus (did We drown them) and We made the Children of Israel the inheritors to them.” 60. “Then they (Pharaoh’s host) pursued them at sunrise.” One of Allah’s ways of treatment is to replace oppressors with the oppressed. Departure of Pharaoh and his men after the Children of Israel was a divine prudence to sink them. Consequently wealth, palaces and gardens of Pharaoh and his people turn into the possession of the Children of Israel.

In these noble verses, the destiny of Pharaohs is mentioned and the holy Qur’an concisely states the declination of Pharaoh and ruling of the Children of Israel. It says: “So We expelled them from the gardens and the springs,” “And treasures and a goodly dwelling,” Yes, thus were those things taken from them and Allah caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.

The verse says: “Thus (did We drown them) and We made the Children of Israel the inheritors to them.” Commentators have various opinions about the Qur’anic phrase /maqamin karim/ (a goodly dwelling) . Some say that it means luxurious palaces and expensive houses. Some say that it means gatherings and meetings of the rulers which were encircled with some obedient officers. Of course these two commentaries are consistent.

It is likely that both of them are include in the concept of the verse; both their palaces and their power and positions were taken from them.

According to the above verse, “Thus (did We drown them) and We made the Children of Israel the inheritors to them”, some commentators believe that the Children of Israel came back to Egypt and ruled the country for some time.[^2] Of course the verses are apparently in line with this commentary, while some believe that after sinking of Pharaoh and his men they went to the holy lands, but, after a length of time, they returned to Egypt and established a government.[^3] The concerning Chapters of the current Torah are in line with this commentary.

Some say that probably the Children of Israel were divided into two groups.
