scions of his people, (and they were) in fear of Pharaoh and their chiefs,
that he would persecute them. And lo! Pharaoh was verily a tyrant in the
land, and lo! He verily was of the wanton.

Commentary
Prophet Moses and His brother Aaron (peace be upon them) were true
well-wishers of pharaoh. They wished to teach him, that he should consider
thoughtfully on his condition, by causing to release him from the noose of his
flatterers. But Pharaoh had acquired much power and his flatterers, who used to
feel their betterment in accepting his all sayings without consciousness, were
supporting him in all matters.
The nation of Moses (peace be upon him), the Children of Israel were
very distressed from the tyranny of Pharaoh and used to consider that Prophet
Moses (peace be upon him) was their Rescuer. But due to fear of Pharaoh and his
flatterer chiefs, these people did not proclaim openly about their belief.
Their senior people used to consider convenience in it that seemingly they
should remain followers of Pharaoh. Therefore they used to advice their people
that they should not help Moses (peace be upon him) against Pharaoh.
In this verse, it is commanded: Notwithstanding, (wizards of) Pharaoh
had been defeated by Moses (peace be upon him) in the competition, even then;
his influence was the same as it was. The people used to fear him due to the
reason: If we opposed him; he will punish us. So apparently; they remained
partisans of Pharaoh, and besides some courageous youth persons, none of them
proclaimed about their belief.
It is a regular practice always in the world that powerful is commander
and he vanquishes his opposite movements with force, but he does not think that
the people have been becoming his enemies secretly, and they will finish him as
soon as they will get chance.
