{22:5} O People, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.

I suggest,
{22:5} O People, if you have been in doubt about the Send-Off (Resurrection), then [consider that] verily, We created you from dust, then from a droplet, then from a clinging clot, and then from a morsel, formed or unformed - that We may clarify for you. And We settle in the wombs what We will for a named term, then We bring you out a child, and then [you grow] until you reach your sturdiest. And among you is he who is recalled (dies), and among you is he who is relegated to the nethermost age such that he does not know, after [once having] knowledge, anything. And you see the earth torpid, but when We have sent down upon it water, it has quivered and swollen and grown [something] of every delightful pair.
