Explanatory Note

Moses replies by stressing another attribute of God, the Lord of all creatures: “[Moses] said: He is your Lord as well as the Lord of your forefathers of old.” This answer is directed at Pharaoh, his status and claims even more. He tells him that God, the Lord of all the worlds, is also his Lord, while Pharaoh is nothing more than one of His servants. He is certainly not a deity as he claims. His people are also subject to God, their true Lord, while Pharaoh has no lordship over them. Indeed God is the Lord of their forefathers of old, which means that the hereditary aspect on which Pharaoh’s claims rely is false. None other than God has ever been Lord of the worlds.
