ولما دخلوا من حيث امرهم ابوهم ما كان يغني عنهم من الله من شيء الا حاجة في نفس يعقوب قضاها وانه لذو علم لما علمناه ولكن اكثر الناس لا يعلمون

And when they entered In the manner their father Had enjoined, it did not Profit them in the least Against (the Plan of) God: It was but a necessity Of Jacob's soul, which he Discharged. For he was, By Our instruction, full Of knowledge (and experience): But most men know not.
