26:32Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest,
وَّنَزَعَ يَدَهٗ فَاِذَا هِىَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنّٰظِرِيۡنَ ٣٣
26:33And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders.

26:34(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard,
يُّرِيۡدُ اَنۡ يُّخۡرِجَكُمۡ مِّنۡ اَرۡضِكُمۡ بِسِحۡرِهٖۖ فَمَاذَا تَاۡمُرُوۡنَ ٣٥
26:35Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye?
قَالُوۡۤا اَرۡجِهۡ وَاَخَاهُ وَابۡعَثۡ فِى الۡمَدَآٮِٕنِ حٰشِرِيۡنَۙ ٣٦
26:36They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners
يَاۡتُوۡكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيۡمٍ ٣٧
26:37Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard.
فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيۡقَاتِ يَوۡمٍ مَّعۡلُوۡمٍۙ ٣٨
26:38So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed.
وَّقِيۡلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ اَنۡـتُمۡ مُّجۡتَمِعُوۡنَۙ ٣٩
26:39And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering?
لَعَلَّنَا نَـتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ اِنۡ كَانُوۡا هُمُ الۡغٰلِبِيۡنَ ٤٠
26:40(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوۡا لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ اَٮِٕنَّ لَـنَا لَاَجۡرًا اِنۡ كُنَّا نَحۡنُ الۡغٰلِبِيۡنَ ٤١
26:41And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?
قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَاِنَّكُمۡ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الۡمُقَرَّبِيۡنَ ٤٢
26:42He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me).
قَالَ لَهُمۡ مُّوۡسٰۤى اَلۡقُوۡا مَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّلۡقُوۡنَ ٤٣
26:43Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw!
