With the magicians

So the magicians were assembled at a stated time and place on an appointed day.

And the people were also asked to assemble.

(They said): "We may haply follow the magicians if they are victorious."

When the magicians arrived, they said to the Pharaoh: "Is there a reward for us if we are victorious?" --

"Yes," he replied. "You 'will be among the honoured."

Moses said to them: "Cast what you have to cast."

So they cast their ropes and rods, and said: "By the glory of Pharaoh, we shall be victorious."

Then Moses threw down his staff, and lo, it swallowed up their conjurations.

Then the magicians fell prostrating in adoration,

And said: "We (affirm and) believe in the Lord of all the worlds,

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
