They call upon Marwan so that he may answer them.
They call on Marwan, that he might answer them,
And in Marwan's presence, the people were bewildered or fell asleep.
Yet with Marwan the people are confounded and have fallen into deep slumber.

Before them, among Moses' people, there had been a body—
In the people of Moses before them was a body -
A calf: whenever it let out a low among them, they prostrated themselves.
A calf which, when in their midst it lowed, they bowed down before.
