AND, INDEED, long ago did We impose Our commandment on Adam; but he forgot it, and We found no firmness of purpose in him.

We had already, beforehand, taken the covenant of Adam, but he forgot: and We found on his part no firm resolve.

And verily We made a covenant of old with Adam, but he forgot, and We found no constancy in him.

And certainly We gave a commandment to Adam before, but he forgot; and We found in him no resolve (to disobey).

And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.
