We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.
Verb form IV — causative
وَأَوْحَيْنَآ (And We inspired) uses form IV (أَفْعَلَ) — the أ at the start makes it causative ("to make someone do something").
We translate it as "to make [someone] do" or "to cause [action]".

وَأَوْحَيْنَآ (And We inspired) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers."
