And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications to Firon and his chiefs, so he said: Surely I am the apostle of the Lord of the worlds. 46 but when he came to them with Our signs, they ridiculed them, 47 And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister (token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might turn again. 48 And they said [to Musa (Moses)]: "O you sorcerer! Invoke your Lord for us according to what He has covenanted with you. Verily, We shall guide ourselves (aright)." 49 But when We removed from them the chastisement, behold, they broke their troth. 50 And Firon proclaimed amongst his people: O my people! is not the kingdom of Egypt mine? And these rivers flow beneath me; do you not then see? 51 Am I not better than this contemptible man who can hardly make his meaning clear: 52 But why have not bracelets of gold been put upon him, or why have there not come with him angels as companions? 53 So when he had brainwashed his people, they followed him; indeed they were a disobedient nation. 54 So, when they angered Us, We punished them and drowned them every one. 55 and so We made them a thing of the past, and an example to those who would come after them. 56
