( وجحدوا بها ) أي : أنكروا الآيات ولم يقروا أنها من عند الله ) ( واستيقنتها أنفسهم ) أي : علموا أنها من عند الله ، قوله : ( ظلما وعلوا ) أي : شركا وتكبرا عن أن يؤمنوا بما جاء به موسى ( فانظر كيف كان عاقبة المفسدين )
They disbelieved in these miracles and did not accept them, despite being convinced they are from Allah, due to their wrongdoing and their arrogance from the truth. So contemplate, O Messenger, how was the outcome of those who cause corruption on earth, due to their disbelief and disobedience; I destroyed them and eradicated all of them.
