Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see. (20:47) So go to him and say, `Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them.

(20:48) Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.` " (20:49) [Pharaoh] said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?" (20:50) He said, "Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]." (20:51) [Pharaoh] said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?"
