Explanatory Note

The style used in these verses suggests a deliberate plan to excite the masses and keep people in full expectation: “Are you all present, so that we may follow the sorcerers?” Are you all in attendance and ready for the contest to begin? Soon you will see with your own eyes the sorcerers defeat this Israelite called Moses! On such occasions, the masses always flock in, oblivious to the fact that tyrannical rulers manipulate them for their own ends. They bring them to such gatherings and show occasions so as to divert their attentions away from the miserable conditions and oppression they endure.
