قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَن تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَى
[20:65]
They said: O Musa! will you cast, or shall we be the first who cast down?
They said: "O Moses! whether wilt thou that thou throw (first) or that we be the first to throw?"
They said: O Moses! Either throw first, or let us be the first to throw?
