Quote:
{28:38} And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."

I suggest,
{28:38} And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known for you a god other than me. So, ignite for me, O Haman, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look up to the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."

Quote:
{28:39} And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us.

I suggest,
{28:39} And he deemed [himself] big, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they to Us would not be returned.

Quote:
{28:40} So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers.

I suggest,
{28:40} So, We took him and his soldiers and abandoned them into the sea. So, see how was the outcome of the wrongdoers.

Quote:
{28:42} And We caused to overtake them in this world a curse, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be of the despised.

I suggest,
{28:42} And We had a curse follow them in this the nearest [life], and on the Day of Resurrection, they are of the despised.
