Word by word

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ تِسْعَ ءَايَـٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَـٰتٍ ۖ فَسْـَٔلْ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ إِذْ جَآءَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُۥ فِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّى لَأَظُنُّكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ مَسْحُورًا

And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic."

ولقد آتينا موسى تسع معجزات واضحات شاهدات على صِدْق نبوته وهي: العصا واليد والسنون ونقص الثمرات والطوفان والجراد والقمل والضفادع والدم، فاسأل -أيها الرسول- اليهود سؤال تقرير حين جاء موسى أسلافهم بمعجزاته الواضحات، فقال فرعون لموسى: إني لأظنك -يا موسى- ساحرا، مخدوعًا مغلوبًا على عقلك بما تأتيه من غرائب الأفعال.
