He said: nay, cast ye down. And lo! their cords and their staves were made to appear to him by their magic as though they were running.

He said, ‘No, you throw first.’ Thereupon, behold, their ropes and staffs appeared to him by their magic to wriggle swiftly.

He said: "No, you throw first!" And there and then, by their sorcery, their ropes and their staffs seemed to him to be slithering.

Moses said: "No. You cast it first" Then it seemed to Moses that by their magic their cords and rods were flying;

He said, “Rather, you may throw”; thereupon their cords and their staves, by the strength of their magic, appeared to him as if they were (serpents) moving fast.

(Moses) said, `Nay, you present first what you have.´ (Accordingly they were the first to present. No sooner did they present them) lo! their cords and their staves, appeared to him (- Moses) by their trickstery only as though they ran about.

'No,' said Moses. 'Do you cast!' And lo, it seemed to him, by their sorcery, their ropes and their staffs were sliding;
