Quote: {42:49} To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what he wills. He gives to whom He wills female [children], and He gives to whom He wills males. Lower case "he" should be upper case. I suggest, {42:49} To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what He wills. He gifts to whom He wills females (female children), and He gifts to whom He wills males. Quote: {42:50} Or He makes them [both] males and females, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent. I suggest, {42:50} Or He pairs them males and females, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is very Knowledgeable and Powerful. |

Good translation. I cannot quite get the first part in 42:50 and why the original translation was "makes them" |
