➋ { لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ اَرْضِنَا :} Every follower of falsehood and every tyrannical and oppressive ruler, when he is left speechless before the caller to truth, uses this very tactic to reject his call, that is, he accuses him of being hungry for power, as if holding on to power is his birthright, but for anyone else, even approaching it is not permissible.
➌ In { ’’ بِسِحْرِكَ ‘‘}, attributing “magic” to the pronoun (kaaf) referring to Musa (peace be upon him) is meant to belittle these miracles, that you want to expel us from the land of Egypt through your worthless and insignificant magic. What value does your magic have compared to the magic of our perfect and expert magicians?

[39] From this statement of Pharaoh, his complete bewilderment is evident. Otherwise, there were hundreds of magicians in his kingdom who would show their tricks to the people and to him, and would leave after receiving rewards and honors. Pharaoh had never thought about any of them that they could bring famine or exile Pharaoh from his land. The reason for pretending to call Musa (peace be upon him) a magician was merely that his subjects might not be influenced by him and believe in him.
