He said, "Bring it, if you are being truthful."
So he cast his staff; and it was a serpent, plain to see.
And he pulled his hand; and it was white, for all to see.
He said to the dignitaries around him, "This is a skilled magician.
He intends to drive you out of your land with his magic, so what do you recommend?"
They said, "Delay him and his brother, and send recruiters to the cities.
To bring you every experienced magician."
So the magicians were gathered for the appointment on a specified day.
And it was said to the people, "Are you all gathered?
That we may follow the magicians, if they are the winners."
