قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُکَ بِشَىء مُّبِین(( 30 ))

30- (MOSES) SAID:ِ ``WHAT THEN, IF I BRING YOU A PERSPICUOUS THING?''

قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِ إِنْ کُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِینَ(( 31 ))

31- (THE KING) SAID:ِ ``BRING IT THEN IF YOU ARE OF THE TRUTHFULS.''

فَأَلْقَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِینٌ(( 32 ))

32- SO HE CAST HIS STICK WHICH IT TURNED TO A VERITABLE SERPENT.

وَنَزَعَ یَدَهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَیْضَاءُ لِلنَّاظِرِینَ(( 33 ))

33- AND HE DREW HIS HAND (OUT OF HIS ARM-PIT) AND IT WAS SHINING WHITE TO THE BEHOLDERS.

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِیمٌ(( 34 ))

34- (PHARAOH) SAID TO THOSE CHIEFS WHO WERE AROUND HIM: ``VERILY THIS IS A WELL VERSED SORCERER.''

یُرِیدُ أَنْ یُخْرِجَکُمْ مِّنْ أَرْضِکُمْ بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ(( 35 ))

35- HE WANTS TO EXPEL YOU FROM YOUR LAND BY HIS MAGIC. WHAT DO YOU THEN COMMAND?

قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِى الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِینَ(( 36 ))

36- THEY SAID:ِ ``GIVE HIM AND HIS BROTHER A TIME, AND SEND SUMMONERS TO THE CITIES.''

یَأْتُوکَ بِکُلِّ سَحَّار عَلِیم(( 37 ))

37- IN ORDER TO BRING TO YOU ALL THE WELL-VERSED SORCERERS.
