And when it became known that what they had done was merely an illusion, and that what Moses, peace be upon him, had done was more solid than mountains, it caused a follow-up to his saying: "So the truth occurred," meaning: that which is more established than it, for the occurrence corresponds to it because the essence of the matter corresponds to what has appeared of its swallowing (p-29) of their possessions. The report about it is true, and in it is a reminder that their action is merely an illusion in relation to the apparent matter. As for in the essence and reality, there is no truth to it; thus, the report about the movement of what they cast is a lie.

And when he reported about the permanence of the truth, he followed it with the removal of falsehood, saying: "And falsehood perished," to the extent that it was completely absent, both in origin and in head, "what they used to do." This indicated by the use of "was" and the present tense that they - despite the nullification of what they did - had forgotten their knowledge to the extent that he attributed to them the door of action after they had possessed it as if it were innate. And Allah knows best.
