And they said: Whatever sign you may bring to us to charm us with it-- we will not believe in you.

And certainly We gave Musa nine clear signs; so ask the children of Israel. When he came to them, Firon said to him: Most surely I deem you, O Musa, to be a man deprived of reason.

So when Our clear signs came to them, they said: This is clear enchantment.

So when Musa came to them with Our clear signs, they said: This is nothing but forged enchantment, and we never heard of it amongst our fathers of old.

And when Our clear communications are recited to them, they say: This is naught but a man who desires to turn you away from that which your fathers worshipped. And they say: This is naught but a lie that is forged. And those who disbelieve say of the truth when it comes to them: This is only clear enchantment.

And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who disbelieve say with regard to the truth when it comes to them: This is clear magic.

And if they see a miracle they turn aside and say: Transient magic.
