وَإِذْ قُلْنَا ادْخُلُوا هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ رَغَدًا وَادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ ۚ وَسَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Wa iz qulnad khuloo haazihil qaryata fakuloo minhaa haysu shi'tum raghadanw wadkhulul baaba sujjadanw wa qooloo hittatun naghfir lakum khataayaakum wa sanazeedul muhsineen
And remember when we said, "Enter this town and eat freely from it wherever you wish, in abundance. Enter the gate prostrating, and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens,' and we will forgive you your wrongs — and we will give still more to those who do good."
Ḥiṭṭa is built on the idea of setting a load down, so the word they are given to say asks for a weight to be lifted rather than for pardon in the abstract. The instruction pairs it with entering low, which puts posture and speech under the same request. Abundance is offered first and the condition attached to it is brief, which is the shape the next verse depends on.
