10And to Pharaoh, owner of the stakes/pyramids?

Explanatory translation

Explanatory translation

10Remember, too, the dictator Pharaoh, who drove pyramids into the earth like stakes, as though he were going to remain in the world forever. Pharaoh, who made his command of mighty armies a source of arrogance, ruled people by his own laws, enslaved them, and saw himself as a god set above his people. Reflect, too, on what your Lord did to Pharaoh, who stood against the prophet Moses with all his might.
