(Ayah 30) {قَالَ اَوَ لَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَيْءٍ مُّبِيْنٍ :} When Pharaoh was left speechless and began to threaten imprisonment, Musa (peace be upon him) offered to present the miracles granted by Allah, and he adopted extremely gentle words and a soft tone, hoping that perhaps upon seeing a clear proof of his truthfulness, Pharaoh might believe. In {’’ اَوَ لَوْ جِئْتُكَ ‘‘}, there is an omitted word before the waw: {’’أَتَفْعَلُ بِيْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ…‘‘} meaning, "Even if I present before you something absolutely clear, will you still not believe and treat me in this manner?"

Moses said, "Even if I bring you something clear (a sign) [23]?"

[23] In response, Musa (peace be upon him) said: “If I show you signs granted by Allah and thereby prove that I am indeed a Messenger from Allah, the Lord of all worlds, will your decision still be the same?”
