1466 The pronoun "his" in "his People" is taken by some Commentators to refer to Pharaoh. The majority of Pharaoh's people refused to believe at the time, but the sorcerers believed (
7:120-122), and so did Pharaoh's wife (
66:11), and ultimately Pharaoh himself, though too late (
10:90). If we took "his" to refer to Moses, it would mean that the Israelites were hardhearted and grumbled (
7:129) even when they were being delivered from Egypt, and only a few of them had any real faith in Allah's providence and the working of His Law, and they feared Pharaoh even more than they feared Allah.
