Explanatory Note

This hit hard at Pharaoh and he could not remain silent when his elders and nobles were listening. Hence, he derisively states that his adversary is mad. His derision is directed at the very issue of bearing God’s message so as to turn people away from it. He charges Moses with madness in order to nullify the effect of his statement that questions the very basis of Pharaoh’s political and religious position, as it aims to remind people of their Lord, the Lord of their forefathers.
