وقال فرعون يا ايها الملا ما علمت لكم من اله غيري فاوقد لي يا هامان على الطين فاجعل لي صرحا لعلي اطلع الى اله موسى واني لاظنه من الكاذبين

Pharaoh said: "O Chiefs! No god do I know for you But myself: therefore, O Haman! light me a (kiln To bake bricks) out of clay, And build me a lofty Palace, that I may mount up To the god of Moses: But as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!"
