﴿ لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ ﴾

“so that we might follow [in the footsteps of] the sorcerers if it is they who prevail?””

(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards) that we may follow the religion of the wizards (if they are the winners) against Moses.
