Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Al-Ankaboot, Ayah 19
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ يُبْدِئُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌۭ
Have they not considered how Allah begins creation and then repeats it? Indeed that, for Allah, is easy.

Have they not seen yaraw or taraw ‘have you not seen?’ observed how God originates creation yubdi’u from 4th form abda’a; a variant reading has yabda‘u from 1st form bada’a both with the same meaning ‘He creates them originally’ then He restores it namely creation just as He originated them? Surely that which is mentioned of the first and the second acts of creation is easy for God so how can they deny the second one?
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(See they not) have the disbelievers of Mecca not been informed in the Book (how Allah produceth creation) from a sperm drop, (then reproduceth it) on the Day of Judgement? (Lo! for Allah that is easy) its production and reproduction is easy.
