We had sent Our Messengers to them with (certain) miracles but the people still did not believe in what they had rejected before. Such is how God seals the hearts of the unbelievers. 101 We did not find many among them keeping their promises.

I bring you a clear proof from your Lord. So let the Children of Israel depart with me' 105 (Pharaoh) said: If thou comest with a token, then produce it, if thou art of those who speak the truth. 106 So he threw his rod, then lo! it was a clear serpent. 107 And he drew forth his hand, and lo, it was white to the beholders. 108
