Word-by-word meaning
Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
أَرْجِهْ("Put him off"), means, "delay him (for a time)." وَأَرْسِلْ فِى الْمَدَآئِنِ("and send to the cities"), areas and provinces of your kingdom -- O Fir`awn, حَـشِرِينَ("to collect") to gather magicians from various lands. At this time, magic was the trade of the day and it was widespread and popular. They had the idea that what Musa brought was a type of magic similar to the magic that the sorcerers of their time practiced.
