Translation

(Pharaoh) said; “If you brought a miracle and if you are truly speaking the truth, show it.”

Tafsir

Pharaoh wanted to see a miracle from Hazrat Musa 'alaihis-salâm' in return for Hazrat Musa 'alaihis-salâm' saying, "I have come to you with a clear miracle, so show me that miracle, if you are one of the truthful ones.

This miracle was intended to be seen by Pharaoh so that Pharaoh, who doubted whether Hazrat Moses was truly a Prophet or not and also doubted the existence of the One and only God, could see the existence of God through the miracles of God.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-A'raf, we have come to verse 106. Pharaoh said: If you have brought a miracle and are truly telling the truth, then show it, he said. Are you really a prophet? Are you one charged with a mission, sent by Allah? Then what, he says, is your skill? Show it, he says. Yes, in response to Moses (peace be upon him) saying, "I have come to you with a clear miracle," Pharaoh said: Then show that miracle, if you are of those who speak the truth; and so he wanted to see a miracle from Moses (peace be upon him). Pharaoh's wanting to see this miracle was to find out whether Moses was really a prophet, and at the same time for Pharaoh, who doubted the existence of that one Allah, to contend with Allah's existence through Allah's miracles.

Yes. If it is superhuman, what kind of miracle is that miracle; show me, he says.
