And the people were told: "Are ye (now) assembled.-
26:40
"That we may follow the sorcerers (in religion) if they win."
26:41
So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win.
26:42
He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."
26:43
Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about to throw!"
26:44
So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!"
26:45
Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!
26:46
Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration,
26:47
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
26:48
"The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
