قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَنْ تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَى ﴿۶۵﴾ قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَى ﴿۶۶﴾ فَأَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً مُوسَى ﴿۶۷﴾ قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَعْلَى ﴿۶۸﴾ وَأَلْقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوا إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَى ﴿۶۹﴾

﴾65﴿ They said, O Moses, will you throw , or shall we be the first to throw
﴾66﴿ He said, Rather, you throw. Then suddenly, their ropes and staffs appeared to Moses, because of their magic, as if they were moving swiftly
﴾67﴿ So Moses felt a sense of fear within himself
﴾68﴿ We said, Do not fear; indeed, you are the one who will prevail
﴾69﴿ And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. Indeed, what they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will never succeed wherever he may be
