قَالَ (He said) — Pharaoh to them — نَعَمْ (yes), you will receive the reward for that — وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ (and you will then surely be among those brought near) to us. Then they said to Moses: either you cast, or we are the ones who cast — and the mention of what they said has been omitted because Allah's report concerning them that Moses said to them "cast what you are going to cast" already indicates that this is its meaning.
