قَالَتۡ إِحۡدَىٰهُمَا يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱسۡتَـٔۡجِرۡهُۖ إِنَّ خَيۡرَ مَنِ ٱسۡتَـٔۡجَرۡتَ ٱلۡقَوِيُّ ٱلۡأَمِينُ
L'une d'elles dit: «O mon père, engage-le [à ton service] moyennant salaire, car le meilleur à engager c'est celui qui est fort et digne de confiance»
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
One of the two women the one that had been sent by her father either the elder or the younger said ‘O my father hire him employ him in return for a wage that he may tend our flock instead of us. Surely the best man you can hire is the strong the trustworthy man’ in other words hire him on account of his strength and trustworthiness. He Shu‘ayb asked her about him and she told him as mentioned above how he had lifted the rock off the well and that he had said to her ‘Walk behind me’ in addition to his lowering his head when he realised that she was coming towards him refusing to lift it until she left. He Shu‘ayb therefore was keen to have him marry one of his daughters.
قَالَ إِنِّيٓ أُرِيدُ أَنۡ أُنكِحَكَ إِحۡدَى ٱبۡنَتَيَّ هَٰتَيۡنِ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تَأۡجُرَنِي ثَمَٰنِيَ حِجَجٖۖ فَإِنۡ أَتۡمَمۡتَ عَشۡرٗا فَمِنۡ عِندِكَۖ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنۡ أَشُقَّ عَلَيۡكَۚ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
Il dit: «Je voudrais te marier à l'une de mes deux filles que voici, à condition que tu travailles à mon service durant huit ans. Si tu achèves dix [années], ce sera de ton bon gré; je ne veux cependant rien t'imposer d'excessif. Tu me trouveras, si Allah le veut, du nombre des gens de bien»

He said ‘I desire to marry you to one of these two daughters of mine either the elder or the younger one on condition that you hire yourself to me that you are employed by me to tend my flock for eight years. And if you complete ten that is the tending of ten years that completion shall be of your own accord. I do not want to be hard on you by making it the marriage conditional on ten years service. God willing — expressed to seek God’s blessing — you shall find me to be one of the righteous’ of those who fulfil their covenants.
قَالَ ذَٰلِكَ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَكَۖ أَيَّمَا ٱلۡأَجَلَيۡنِ قَضَيۡتُ فَلَا عُدۡوَٰنَ عَلَيَّۖ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٞ
«C'est (conclu) entre toi et moi, dit [Moïse]. Quel que soit celui des deux termes que je m'assigne, il n'y aura nulle pression sur moi. Et Allah est Garant de ce que nous disons»

He Moses said ‘That which you have said is settled then between me and you. Whichever of the two terms the eight or the ten the mā in ayyamā ‘whichever of the two’ is extra in other words the tending thereof I complete there shall be no injustice done to me by demanding of me to do more tending. And God is Guardian Keeper or Witness over what we you and I say’. The contract was agreed in this way. Shu‘ayb bid his daughter to give Moses a staff with which to beat off predatory beasts from his sheep — the staffs of the prophets were in his keeping. It was Adam’s staff made from the myrtle of Paradise that fell into her hands and so Moses took it with Shu‘ayb’s knowledge.
۞فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ مُوسَى ٱلۡأَجَلَ وَسَارَ بِأَهۡلِهِۦٓ ءَانَسَ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ نَارٗاۖ قَالَ لِأَهۡلِهِ ٱمۡكُثُوٓاْ إِنِّيٓ ءَانَسۡتُ نَارٗا لَّعَلِّيٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنۡهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوۡ جَذۡوَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَصۡطَلُونَ
Puis, lorsque Moïse eut accompli la période convenue et qu'il se mit en route avec sa famille, il vit un feu du côté du Mont. Il dit à sa famille: «Demeurez ici. J'ai vu du feu. Peut-être vous en apporterai-je une nouvelle ou un tison de feu afin que vous vous réchauffiez»

So when Moses had completed the term of his tending — of eight years or of ten years which is what is generally assumed — and was travelling with his family his wife with the permission of her father in the direction of Egypt he saw in the distance on the side of the Mount Tūr a fire al-Tūr is the name of a mountain. He said to his family ‘Wait here; I see a fire in the distance. Maybe I will bring you from it news about how to rejoin the route to Egypt — for he had strayed from it along the way — or a brand read with any of the three vowels jadhwa jidhwa or judhwa which either means ‘a bundle’ or ‘a flame’ from the fire that you may warm yourselves’ tastalūna the tā’ replaces the tā’ of the 8th verbal paradigm ifta‘ala of the verb saliya or salaya.
فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِيَ مِن شَٰطِيِٕ ٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنِ فِي ٱلۡبُقۡعَةِ ٱلۡمُبَٰرَكَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ أَن يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّيٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Puis quand il y arriva, on l'appela, du flanc droit de la vallée, dans la place bénie, à partir de l'arbre: «O Moïse! C'est Moi Allah, le Seigneur de l'univers»

And when he reached it a call came from the right bank the right side of the valley to Moses at the blessed spot blessed for Moses because of his hearing God’s speech therein from the tree mina’l-shajarati substitutes for min shāti’i ‘from the right bank’ and the preposition min ‘from’ has been repeated because it the tree grows there — the tree was a jujube a bramble or a boxthorn — saying that an here is explicative and not in its softened form ‘O Moses! Indeed I am God the Lord of the Worlds’.
