Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلَقَدْ (And certainly) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Emphatic لَ (indeed)
وَلَقَدْ (And certainly) starts with لَ for emphasis — it's like saying "indeed!" or "certainly!".
We add "indeed" or "certainly" to show the emphasis.

Sahih International

And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic."
