49* (When this message was delivered), (Pharaoh) said: "Who, then, O Moses, is the Lord of you two?"  
| |50* He said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each (created) thing its form, then gave (it) guidance."  
| |51* (Pharaoh) said: "What then is the condition of previous generations?"  
| |52* He replied: "The knowledge of that is with my Lord, duly recorded: my Lord never errs, nor forgets,-  
| |53* "He Who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out; has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels); and has sent down water from the sky." With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others.  
| |54* Eat (for yourselves) and pasture your cattle: verily, in this are Signs for men endued with understanding.  
| |55* From the (earth) did We create you, and into it shall We return you, and from it shall We bring you out once again.  
| |56* And We showed Pharaoh all Our Signs, but he did reject and refuse.  
| |57* He said: "Hast thou come to drive us out of our land with thy magic, O Moses?  
| |58* "But we can surely produce magic to match thine! So make a tryst between us and thee, which we shall not fail to keep - neither we nor thou - in a place where both shall have even chances."
