Pharaoh Said What Is the Lord of All Worlds — Arrogant Denial and the Conclusive Argument

Verse: "Pharaoh said: What is the Lord of all worlds? Moses said: Lord of the heavens and earth and all between them." (26:23-24) — Pharaoh claimed lordship — "I am your highest lord" — then asked dismissively: "What is the Lord of all worlds?" Moses' responses: Lord of the heavens and earth and all between; Lord of your fathers of old; Lord of East and West — he surrounded Pharaoh with the entire universe. Pharaoh then turned to his court: "Don't you hear?" — appealing to the audience because he lost the argument. One who fails in argument turns to authority. Lesson: in arguments with deniers — cite the universe — because the universe is a witness that Pharaoh cannot bribe.
