We found the larger part of them untrue to their covenants; indeed,
We foundmost of themevil-doers.
After those We sent forth Musa with Our signs to Pharaoh and his
chiefs, but they too disbelieved them. Consider the fate of the evil-
doers.
Musa said: 'Pharaoh, I am an apostle from the Lord of the Creation,
and should tell nothing of Allah but what is true. I bring you an
undoubted sign from your Lord. Let the Children of Israel depart with
me.’
He answered: 'If you have come with a sign, show it to us if you are
one of those who are truthful.'
Musa threw down his staff, and thereupon it changed into a serpent
plain (for all to see). Then he drew out his hand and it appeared white to
the beholders.
The elders of Pharaoh's people said: 'This man is a skilled enchanter
who seeks to drive you fromyour kingdom.What do you advise? '
Others said: 'Put them off awhile, him and his brother, and send forth
heralds to your cities to summon every skilled magician to your
presence.'
The magicians came to Pharaoh. They said: 'Shall we be rewarded if
we win?'
'Yes,' he answered. 'And you shall becomemy favourites.'
They said: 'Musa, will you first throwor shall we?'
'Throw,' he replied.
And when the magicians threw, they bewitched the people's eyes and
terrified themby a display of great wonders.
