The sorcerers were unaware of Moses' birth; it was Pharaoh who knew about it. This knowledge came to him either through a traditional prophecy attributed to Abraham (peace be upon him) stating that the destruction of the king of Egypt would be at the hands of a boy from Abraham’s descendants, or through a dream Pharaoh had, which was interpreted for him to mean that his demise would be at the hands of a boy born among the Children of Israel.
