Quote:
{27:7} [Mention] when Moses said to his family, "Indeed, I have perceived a fire. I will bring you from there information or will bring you a burning torch that you may warm yourselves."

I suggest,
{27:7} [Mention] when Moses said to his family, "I did notice a fire. I will bring you from there news or will bring you a brand flame that you may get heated."

Quote:
{27:8} But when he came to it, he was called, "Blessed is whoever is at the fire and whoever is around it. And exalted is God, Lord of the worlds.

I suggest,
{27:8} So, when he came to it, he was called, "Blessed has been whoever is in [this] the fire and whoever is around it. And sanctified is God, Lord of the worlds."

Quote:
{27:9} O Moses, indeed it is I - God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

I suggest,
{27:9} "O Moses, verily [it is] I - God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

Quote:
{27:10} And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it were a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [God said], "O Moses, fear not. Indeed, in My presence the messengers do not fear.

I suggest,
{27:10} And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing like a demon, he turned away [fleeing] and did not look back. [God said], "O Moses, do not fear. Verily, the messengers do not fear in My presence."

Quote:
{27:11} Otherwise, he who wrongs, then substitutes good after evil - indeed, I am Forgiving and Merciful.

I suggest,
{27:11} "Except him who wronged, then substituted good after harm , then I am oft Forgiving, very Merciful."

Quote:
{27:12} And put your hand into the opening of your garment [at the breast]; it will come out white without disease. [These are] among the nine signs [you will take] to Pharaoh and his people. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."

I suggest,
{27:12} "And put your hand into the bosom of your robe; it will come out [shiny] white without illness. [These are] among the nine signs [you will take] to Pharaoh and his people. Indeed, they have been a deviant folk."
