39* And the people were told: "Are ye (now) assembled?-  
| |40* "That we may follow the sorcerers if they win?"  
| |41* So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win?  
| |42* He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."  
| |43* Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about to throw!"  
| |44* So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!"  
| |45* Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!  
| |46* Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration,  
| |47* Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,  
| |48* "The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
