Ash-Shu'ara

[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."

So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.

And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.

[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.

He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"

They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers

Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."

So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.

And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate.

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
