Quote:
{23:17} And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.

{23:18} And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away.

{23:19} And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which you eat.

{23:20} And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food for those who eat.

I suggest,

{23:17} And We have created above you seven tracts, and never have We been of the creation unaware.

{23:18} And We have sent down from the sky water with measure and settled it in the earth. And indeed, to take it away We are certainly Able.

{23:19} Then We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which you eat.

{23:20} And a tree coming out of Mount Sinai [which] yields oil and relish for eaters.
