Al-Jalalayn Commentary
O Children of Israel sons of Jacob remember My favour wherewith I favoured you that is your forefathers saving them from Pharaoh parting the sea sending clouds as shelter and other instances for which you should show gratitude by being obedient to Me; and fulfil My covenant that which I took from you that you believe in Muhammad (s) and I shall fulfil your covenant that which I gave to you that you shall be rewarded for this with Paradise; and be in awe of Me fear Me and not anyone else when you have abandoned belief in him the Prophet.
