Commentary
And Pharaoh led his people astray despite their physical strength and its meanings. And since establishing the action does not imply generality, he negated its opposite to imply it, while being more emphatic and impactful on the soul. He said: "And he did not guide," meaning that nothing of guidance occurred from him, neither for himself nor for anyone from his people. Thus, the evidential proof was completed regarding the fullness of the ability to save the obedient and destroy the disobedient.
