إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعًا يَسْتَضْعِفُ طَائِفَةً مِنْهُمْ يُذَبِّحُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيِي نِسَاءَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ 4 ٤

Inna firAAawna AAala fee alardi wajaAAala ahlaha shiyaAAan yastadAAifu taifatan minhum yuthabbihu abnaahum wayastahyee nisaahum innahu kana mina almufsideena (4)

Tafsir

( إن فرعون علا ) استكبر وتجبر وتعظم ( في الأرض ) أرض مصر ( وجعل أهلها شيعا ) فرقا وأصنافا في الخدمة والتسخير ( يستضعف طائفة منهم ) أراد بالطائفة : بني إسرائيل ثم فسر الاستضعاف فقال : ( يذبح أبناءهم ويستحيي نساءهم ) سمى هذا استضعافا ؛ لأنهم عجزوا وضعفوا عن دفعه عن أنفسهم ( إنه كان من المفسدين )

Indeed Pharaoh ruled over Egypt, acting tyranically therein. He divided its people into groups and oppressing a certain group - which were the Children of Israel - killing their male children and letting the females live, to exploit and humiliate them. Indeed he was one who caused corruption on Earth through oppression, tyranny and arrogance.
