However, We did find many evil-doers among them. 102 AND AFTER those [early people] We sent Moses with Our messages unto Pharaoh and his great ones, and they wilfully rejected them: and behold what happened in the end to those spreaders of corruption! 103 Moses said: "O Pharaoh! I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds,- 104 Approved upon condition that I speak concerning Allah nothing but the truth. I come unto you (lords of Egypt) with a clear proof from your Lord. So let the Children of Israel go with me. 105 Said Firaun, “If you have come with a sign, then present it if you are truthful!” 106 Then (Moses) threw his rod, and behold! it was a serpent, plain (for all to see)! 107 and he drew forth his hand, and it appeared [shining] white to the beholders. 108
