Transliteration:( Ilaa Fir'awna wa mala'ihee fattaba'ooo amra Fir'awna wa maaa amru Fir'awna birasheed )
"To Fir'awn and his chiefs [197], and they followed the command of Fir'awn. And the command of Fir'awn was not rightly guided [198]."
Because the Pharaoh and his people had overpowered the Israelites, mention here has been made about them. Otherwise, Hazrat Moosa (On whom be peace) was the Prophet of the Israelites as well. Also, the subject matter that follows "then they followed the command of the Pharaoh" is concerning the Qibties — the people of the Pharaoh. Hence, mention here is made of them.
This means the Pharaoh's misguidance was crystal clear, though he was an ordinary human being, he was claiming godhood. In spite of this, these people had obeyed him.
