Quote:
{12:74} The accusers said, "Then what would be its recompense if you should be liars?"
"The accusers" is an interpretation that is not in the Arabic text. I suggest,
{12:74} They said, "Then what is its penalty if you have been liars?"Quote:
{12:75} [The brothers] said, "Its recompense is that he in whose bag it is found - he [himself] will be its recompense. Thus do we recompense the wrongdoers."
Again, the interjection "[The brothers]" is an interpretation. I suggest,
{12:75} They said, "Its penalty is that he in whose bag it is found, he [himself] will be its recompense (become a slave). Thus do we recompense the wrongdoers."
