وَلِيَعْلَمَ أَنَّ رَفِيقَهُ فِي هَذَا الصِّرَاطِ هُمْ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ،
And let him know that his companions on this path are those whom God has favored.
وَلِيَعْلَمَ and so that he may know
The wa- joins this purpose to the earlier one ('and so that he may also know'), and the li- inside it is again the purpose marker that bends the verb into its subjunctive shape. That changed ending is the signal that the knowing is a further intended aim, not a separate fact. So one word stacks 'and' + 'so that' + the mood the aim requires.
لِيَعْلَمَ فِرْعَوْنُ حِينَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا أَنَّ مَقْدَرَتُهُ تَعْجِزُ عَنْ مِثْلِ مَا أُوتِيتُمَا،
Pharaoh will know when he looks at it that his power cannot match what you two were given.
لِيَعْلَمَ so that he may know
The li- here is a purpose preposition meaning 'so that', and it forces the verb after it into the subjunctive shape. It links the action to its intended result, the knowing. After this purpose li-, Arabic changes the verb's ending, signalling that the knowing is the goal being aimed at, not an accomplished fact.
