The Koran (Al-Qur'an) ENTITLED, AL FORKAN; REVEALED AT MECCA. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. / CHAPTER XXVI. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD.; lines 27130-27229 confidence: high
The magicians cast ropes and rods and invoke Pharaoh's might. Moses casts his rod; it swallows what they had falsely made to appear as serpents. The magicians prostrate and profess belief in the Lord of Moses and Aaron; Pharaoh objects that they believed without his permission.
After Moses's rod swallows their displays, the magicians prostrate and declare belief in the Lord of all creatures, the Lord of Moses and Aaron.
