20:65
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
‘Concert, therefore, your plan and then come forward arrayed. And, surely, he who gains ascendancy this day shall prosper.’
English - Five Volume Translation
Concert, therefore, your plan; and then come forward arrayed in a body. And, surely, he who gains ascendancy this day shall prosper.’[2284]
Important Words:
کید (plan) means, a plan, a wile, an artifice, artful contrivance; device; a plot; a stratagem, art; cunning, ingenuity or skill (Lane).
Commentary:
The magicians were told that they could use any device, artifice or wile to defeat Moses. This implied a confession that with Pharaoh and his people the end justified the means.
In the verse an appeal has also been made to the magicians’ self-interest. They are told that if they were successful against Moses, it would be all to their good.
