Explanatory Note

This put Pharaoh on the spot in front of a large gathering. He realized that if he were to refuse this new proof outright, he would only demonstrate his own weakness in the face of Moses’ powerful argument: this despite his description of Moses as a madman. He felt that his only option was to demand such proof: Hence, “[Pharaoh] said: Produce it, then, if you are a man of truth." “If you area man of truth,” may be taken to mean ‘if you are truthful in what you claim to be’, or ‘if you truly have clear proof’. Thus we see Pharaoh continuing to raise doubts about Moses, fearing that his argument may be well received by those present.
