Surely your Lord is Knowing...

Surely your Lord is Knowing, Wise [12:6] And Yusuf-as was one of the most beautiful faces of the people, and Yaqoub-as loved him-as and preferred him-as over his-as (other) children. So, his-as brothers envied him-as upon that, and they said regarding what is between them is what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Related: When they said: ‘Yusuf and his brother are more beloved to our father than us in prejudice – i.e., as a group, Surely, our father is in clear error [12:8].

They deliberated upon killing Yusuf-as and they said, ‘We shall kill him-as until the face of our father-as is vacant for us’. Lawy (a brother), said, ‘Killing him-as is not allowed, but we can make him disappear from our father-as and we will be alone with him-as’, and they said just as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Related: They said, ‘O our father! What is the matter with you that you do not trust us with Yusuf, and we are his well-wishers? [12:11] Send him with us tomorrow.

He will enjoy and play, and we would be his protectors’ [12:12]. Allah-azwj Caused it to flow upon the tongue of Yaqoub: ‘It grieves me that you would go with him and I fear that the wolf devours him while you are heedless from him’ [12:13]. They said just as Allah-azwj Related: They said, ‘If the wolf devours him and we are a group, then we would be losers’ [12:14]. The ‘group’ is ten to thirteen.
