﴿ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ ۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ﴾
“And so We seized him and his hosts and cast them into the sea: and behold what happened in the end to those evildoers:”
(Therefore We seized him) i.e. Pharaoh, because of what he said initially, �I am your exalted lord�, and his other claim: �I know not that you have a god other than me� (and his hosts) the Coptic people, (and abandoned them unto the sea) and cast them in the sea. (Behold) O Muhammad (the nature of the consequence for evil-doers) how was the end of the idolaters: Pharaoh and his host!
