Said Moses: "Throw ye (first)." So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them: for they showed a great (feat of) magic.

"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."

他说：“你们先抛吧！”当他们抛下去时，（变出的大蛇）眩惑了众人的眼睛，而且使人们恐怖。他们施展了大魔术。

我们必定在你面前表演同样的魔术。你在一个互相商量的地方， 在我们和你之间，订一个约期，我们和你大家都不爽约。”
