فَمَاۤ اٰمَنَ لِمُوۡسٰۤی اِلَّا ذُرِّیَّۃٌ مِّنۡ قَوۡمِہٖ عَلٰی خَوۡفٍ مِّنۡ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَا۠ئِہِمۡ اَنۡ یَّفۡتِنَہُمۡ ۚ وَاِنَّ فِرۡعَوۡنَ لَعَالٍ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ وَاِنَّہٗ لَمِنَ الۡمُسۡرِفِیۡنَ

Commentary:
It appears from this verse that all the Israelites had not believed in Moses. Only a part of them had really believed in him. The rest followed him from only political or national considerations. The pronoun "his" in the clause, from among his people, may also refer to Pharaoh. In that case the clause would mean that some youths of the people of Pharaoh also believed in Moses. But the former interpretation seems to be more correct and is therefore preferable.
This verse also brings to light the fact that not unoften an appreciable number of the people to whom a Prophet of God preaches his Message become convinced of his truth, but they dare not profess their faith openly for fear of their leaders and chiefs. The pronoun "their" in the words "their chiefs" may refer either to the Israelites or to the people of Pharaoh. Preferably it refers to the people of Pharaoh. The chiefs of the people of Pharaoh have been called the chiefs of the Israelites because the latter were a subject people. But the pronoun need not necessarily be taken as referring to any particular people. The great men of a country are regarded as chiefs not merely because they belong to any particular community but also because, being members of the government, they possess influence and authority. Hence the high officials of the State, whether they belonged to the people of Pharaoh or the Israelites might rightly be called the chiefs of the Israelites and it was through both that Pharaoh tyrannized over the Israelites.
The words, Pharaoh was a tyrant in the land, show that Pharaoh was not a wise and sagacious monarch. He had embarked upon a policy of open repression and persecution which was calculated to incite the people to rebellion. This policy eventually led to the downfall of the dynasty.

اَلَّذِیۡۤ اَطۡعَمَہُمۡ مِّنۡ جُوۡعٍ وَّاٰمَنَہُمۡ مِّنۡ خَوۡفٍۭ
古莱什人从恐惧中被赐予安全, 而他们周围的人却终日惶惶不安。他们还终年不辍获得各种水果和食物。这一切都绝非巧遇, 这是安拉的计划的实施, 同时也是2500年前的众圣之父伊布拉欣所作的预言的应验 (2:127, 130 & 14:36, 38)。这节经文告诉不信的古莱什人: 无限博爱、永久仁慈的安拉施予他们大恩大德、还施予他们安全、不受惊恐和饥饿, 可是他们还是宁可崇拜木石铸造的偶像, 而不崇拜安拉。这节经文强调了他们犯了忘恩负义的罪。
The Quraish were granted security from fear, while all around them raged fear and insecurity. Besides, they were provided, round the year, with every kind of fruit and food. All this was not due to mere chance. It was in pursuance of a Divine plan and in fulfilment of a prophecy made by the Patriarch Abrahahm 2500 years ago (2:127, 130 & 14:36, 38). The verse drives home to the disbelieving Quraish their guilt of ingratitude by telling them that they had taken to the worship of gods made of wood and stone in preference to the Gracious and Merciful God Who had bestowed great favours upon them and had granted them security against fear and hunger.
Commentary:
It was indeed a great Divine favour that as servants of the Ka‘bah the Quraish were granted perfect security from fear, while all around them raged fear and insecurity. Besides, they were provided round the year, with every kind of fruit and food. All this was not due to mere chance. It was in pursuance of a Divine plan and in fulfilment of a prophecy made by the Patriarch Abraham 2500 years before (14:36, 38 & 2:127, 130).
