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 But they said: "O sorcerer, call on your Lord for us in accordance with the compact He has made with you. We shall certainly come to guidance." 49 Then when We had removed from them the torment, behold they were breaking their promise. 50 And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) proclaimed among his people, saying: "O my people! Is not mine the dominion of Egypt, and these rivers flowing underneath me. See you not then? 51 Am I not better than this contemptible man who can hardly make his meaning clear? 52 Why were then no bracelets of gold shed upon him from above, or angels sent down as a retinue with him?" 53 In this way he fooled his people and they obeyed him: they were a rebellious people. 54 So when they made Us wrathful, We took revenge from them – We therefore drowned all of them. 55 We made them become of the people of the past and an example for the coming generations. 56
