26:34He said to the dignitaries around him, “This is a skilled magician.

26:35He intends to drive you out of your land with his magic, so what do you recommend?”

26:37To bring you every experienced magician.”

26:38So the magicians were gathered for the appointment on a specified day.

26:40That we may follow the magicians, if they are the winners.”

26:41When the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, “Is there a reward for us, if we are the winners?”

26:46And the magicians fell down prostrating.

26:49He said, “Did you believe in Him before I have given you permission? He must be your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon know. I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all.”
