Quote:
{28:32} Insert your hand into the opening of your garment; it will come out white, without disease. And draw in your arm close to you [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his establishment. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."

I suggest,
{28:32} "Insert your hand into the bosom opening of your garment; it will come out [shining] white, without harm. And draw in close to you your wing (arm) [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his court. Indeed, they have been a deviant folk."
