Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And they bring back those among them who are skilled in the art of necromancy
Quran 7:112 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
أَرْجِهْ
( "Put him off" ), means, "delay him ( for a time )."
وَأَرْسِلْ فِى الْمَدَآئِنِ
( "and send to the cities" ), areas and provinces of your kingdom -- O Fir`awn,
حَـشِرِينَ
( "to collect" ) to gather magicians from various lands.
At this time, magic was the trade of the day and it was widespread and popular.
They had the idea that what Musa brought was a type of magic similar to the magic that the sorcerers of their time practiced.
Because of this incorrect assumption, they brought all the magicians in order to defeat the miracles that he showed them.
Allah said about Fir`awn,
فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهِ فَاجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مَوْعِداً لاَّ نُخْلِفُهُ نَحْنُ وَلاَ أَنتَ مَكَاناً سُوًى
قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ الزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًى - فَتَوَلَّى فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيْدَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى
( Then verily, we can produce magic the like thereof; so appoint a meeting between us and you, which neither we nor you shall fail to keep, in an open place where both shall have a just and equal chance." Musa said: "Your appointed meeting is the day of the festival, and let the people assemble when the sun has risen (forenoon )." So Fir`awn withdrew, devised his plot and then came back.) 20:58-60.

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(7:112) to summon every skilful magician to your presence.' *89

*89).
The plan of Pharaoh's courtiers clearly suggests that they knew the difference between mere sorcery and a miracle.
They were well aware that miracles are effective and have the capacity to bring about actual transformation whereas sorcery results merely in optic illusion.
Hence, they dubbed Moses a sorcerer so as to refute his claim to prophethood.
They claimed instead that the transformation of the rod into a serpent was not a miracle; that it was rather a magical performance which could be undertaken by any sorcerer.
Therefore, they asked all the sorcerers of the land to come together and display how rods could be magically transformed into serpents.
They believed that such a magical show would remove the awesome effect created by Moses' miracles on the people, or at least sow doubts in their minds about those miracles.

Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
"That they bring up to you all well-versed sorcerers."
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
