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 And We did not find in most of them any (faithfulness to) covenant, and We found most of them to be certainly transgressors. 102 Then, after them, We sent Moses with our tokens unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they repelled them.

I am an apostle from the Lord of the worlds; 104 And it behoves me to say nothing about Allah except what is true. I have come to you with a clear sign of having been sent from your Lord. So let the Children of Israel go with me.' 105 He said: "If you have brought a sign then display it, if what you say is true." 106 Thereupon he cast down his rod, when, lo it was a serpent manifest. 107 Then he drew out his hand and it was luminous to the onlookers. 108
