The Table Spread - 5:71 They thought that they would not be tested, and they became blind and deaf. Then Allah accepted their inclination, but most of them again became blind and deaf. Allah sees what they do.
The turning of the Children of Israel towards Allah:
The Cow/2:54 "Moses said to his people: "O My people, you have wronged your nafs (personality, essence, soul) by worshipping/serving the calf. Repent to your Creator and kill your nafs (ego). This is better for you in the sight of your Creator."He will forgive you. Surely He is the Accepter of repentance, the Most Merciful."
The Cow/2:51 We had contracted with Moses for forty nights. But you wronged yourselves after him and served the calf.
The Cow/2:52 Nevertheless, We forgave you so that you might give thanks.
