﴿أَن اقذفيه فِي التابوت﴾ أَيْ: اجْعَلِيهِ ﴿فَاقْذِفِيهِ فِي الْيَمِّ﴾ فِي الْبَحْرِ ﴿فَلْيُلْقِهِ الْيَمُّ بِالسَّاحِلِ يَأْخُذْهُ عَدُوٌّ لِي وَعَدُوٌّ لَهُ﴾ يَعْنِي: فِرْعَوْنَ ﴿وَأَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ مَحَبَّةً مني﴾ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: أَلْقَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مَحَبَّةً مِنْهُ، فَأَحَبُّوهُ حِينَ رَأَوْهُ ﴿ولتصنع على عَيْني﴾ أَي: ولتغذى بمرأى مني.
