The word(s) "be" appears 4864 time(s) in 2969 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Pickthal translation.

(1471) Who hath appointed the earth as a bed and hath threaded roads for you therein and hath sent down water from the sky and thereby We have brought forth divers kinds of vegetation,

(1472) But we surely can produce for thee magic the like thereof; so appoint a tryst between us and you, which neither we nor thou shall fail to keep, at a place convenient (to us both).

(1473) (Moses) said: Your tryst shall be the day of the feast, and let the people assemble when the sun hath risen high.

(1474) They said: Lo! these are two wizards who would drive you out from your country by their magic, and destroy your best traditions;

(1475) So arrange your plan, and come in battle line. Whoso is uppermost this day will be indeed successful.

(1476) They said: O Moses! Either throw first, or let us be the first to throw?

(1477) Throw that which is in thy right hand! It will eat up that which they have made. Lo! that which they have made is but a wizard's artifice, and a wizard shall not be successful to whatever point (of skill) he may attain.

(1478) Then the wizards were (all) flung down prostrate, crying: We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.

(1479) (Pharaoh) said: Ye put faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he is your chief who taught you magic. Now surely I shall cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and I shall crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and ye shall know for certain which of us hath sterner and more lasting punishment.

(1480) Lo! we believe in our Lord, that He may forgive us our sins and the magic unto which thou didst force us. Allah is better and more lasting.
