إِنَّ لَنَا
inna lanā la-ajran
“Surely, there will be a reward for us...”
As a statement, this expresses either the sorcerers’ expectation, or their demand on Pharaoh. It may also be read as a question without the interrogative particle.
أَئِن لَنَا
a-inna lanā la-ajran
“Will there be a reward for us…?”
