Ayah 93
Surah Al-Baqara
And [recall] when We took your covenant and raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and listen." They said [instead], "We hear and disobey." And their hearts absorbed [the worship of] the calf because of their disbelief. Say, "How wretched is that which your faith enjoins upon you, if you should be believers."﴿93﴾
Translation
And [recall] when We took your covenant and raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and listen." They said [instead], "We hear and disobey." And their hearts absorbed [the worship of] the calf because of their disbelief. Say, "How wretched is that which your faith enjoins upon you, if you should be believers."
Simplified Tafsir
واذكروا حين أَخَذْنا عليكم عهدًا مؤكدًا بقَبول ما جاءكم به موسى من التوراة، فنقضتم العهد، فرفعنا جبل الطور فوق رؤوسكم، وقلنا لكم: خذوا ما آتيناكم بجدٍّ، واسمعوا وأطيعوا، وإلا أسقطنا الجبل عليكم، فقلتم: سمعنا قولك وعصينا أمرك؛ لأن عبادة العجل قد امتزجت بقلوبكم بسبب تماديكم في الكفر. قل لهم -أيها الرسول-: قَبُحَ ما يأمركم به إيمانكم من الكفر والضلال، إن كنتم مصدِّقين بما أنزل الله عليكم.
