And when that was a frightening matter, the listener anticipated what would be his condition in such a situation thereafter. So he began to inform him by saying: ﴿He said﴾, meaning Allah, glorified and exalted is He, regarding what would happen with Pharaoh for the sake of training: (p-282) ﴿Take it and do not fear﴾, indicating that he feared it due to the nature of human disposition. Then he justified the prohibition of fear by saying ﴿We will return it﴾, meaning with Our greatness when you take it, with a promise that will not fail. ﴿Its course﴾, meaning its way, ﴿the first﴾, as it was a staff. So this is a clear sign that the one addressing you is your Lord, who has the most beautiful names. Then tranquility descended upon him, and he reached a level of reassurance that he put his hand into its mouth and took hold of its beard, and behold, it was his staff, with his hand between its two branches.
