He said: "He says it is a heifer which was never subjugated to plough the land, or water the crops, free from any blemish." They said: "Now you have come with the truth." And they slaughtered it, though they had nearly not done so.

And you had murdered a person, then disputed in the matter; God was to bring out what you were keeping secret.

We said: "Strike him with parts from it." It is thus that God brings the dead to life, and He shows you His signs that you may comprehend.

Did you expect that they would believe with you, when a group of them had heard the words of God then altered them knowingly after having understood?
