In the previous articles (58-62)
Pharaoh has every one of the Egyptian sorcerers crucified after cutting their hands and feet.
Then the chiefs of Pharaoh's people said to Pharaoh:
O King, Will you leave Moses and his people to work corruption in the land, by calling to disobedience against you, and flout you and your gods?
Will you leave Moses and his people to make mischief in the land by changing the religion and worship, and abandon you and the worship of your gods?
It is also said that this means, according to a different reading: and leave worshipping you as a god?
Pharaoh said:
We will slay their sons, their young sons, as we did the first time and spare their grown up women,
We shall slaughter their new-born sons and spare their women, keeping them alive, as we did with them before. For lo! we are in power over them; we have dominance and supremacy over them, and they did this to them, and so the Children of Israel grieved. Then what?

The meaning of verse 7:128
Moses said unto his people:
Seek help in Allah and endure the affliction. Be patient, their (the Egyptians) persecution. Lo! the land of Egypt is Allah's. He bequeaths it, He gives it for an inheritance to whom He will from among His servants. And lo! the sequel Paradise is for those who keep their duty unto Allah; those who ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies. The, praiseworthy, sequel belongs to those who are wary, of Allah.
The meaning of verse 7:129
They (Moses' people) said:
‘We suffered hurt, we were tormented by the killing of our sons, the use of our women and also by working before you came to us, and since you have come to us with the message.'
Moses said unto them:
it may be that your Lord is going to destroy your adversary, Pharaoh and his council by means of drought and hunger etc.; and make you vicegerents in the earth, make you in the inhabitants of the land of Egypt, that Allah may see how you behave with regard to obeying Him.
In other words, Moses said unto his people: Perhaps your Lord, Allah, will destroy your enemy and make you successors in the land, that He may observe how you shall act in it.
The meaning of verse 7:130
And verily Allah seized Pharaoh's folk with the years, of drought, and dearth of fruits, so that they might remember, that they might heed the admonition, and become believers.
In other words, Allah straitened Pharaoh's folk with famine and hunger, year after year and the dearth of vegetation, that they might take admonition.
