55. From it [i.e., the earth] We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time. 56. And We certainly showed him [i.e., Pharaoh] Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused. 57. He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses? 58. Then we will surely bring you magic like it, so make between us and you an appointment, which we will not fail to keep and neither will you, in a place assigned." 59. [Moses] said, "Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble at mid-morning." 60. So Pharaoh went away, put together his plan, and then came [to Moses]. 61. Moses said to them [i.e., the magicians summoned by Pharaoh], "Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allāh or He will exterminate you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood]." 62. So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation. 63. They said, "Indeed, these are two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and do away with your most exemplary way [i.e., religion or tradition]. 64. So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes."
