Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Story of Musa and Fir`awnIn these verses Allah informs of His sending Musa with His signs and clear proofs to Fir'awn, the king of the Coptic people, and his chiefs. فَاتَّبَعُواْ أَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ(but they followed the command of Fir`awn.) This means that they followed his path, way and methodology in transgression. وَمَآ أَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِيدٍ(and the command of Fir`awn was no right guide.) This means there was no right guidance in it.
