And We inscribed for him in the Tablets that is the Tablets of the Torah — these were made from the Lote-tree of Paradise or of chrysolite or emerald and they were either seven or ten — about all things one needs in religion as an admonition and a detailing an explanation of all things li-kulli shay’in substitutes for the previous genitive construction min kulli shay’ ‘about all things’. ‘Take it then there is an implicit qulnā ‘We said’ before this fa-kudhhā ‘take it then’ firmly seriously and earnestly and enjoin your people to adhere to the fairest precepts in it. I shall show you the abode of the wicked of Pharaoh and his followers and that is Egypt that you may take an example from them.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And We wrote for him, upon the tablets, the lesson) the prohibition (to be drawn from all things and the explanation of all things) of the lawful and the unlawful, commands and prohibitions, (then (bade him): Hold it fast) act upon it seriously and diligently; (and command your people (saying): Take the better (course made clear) therein) act upon that which is unambiguous and believe in that which is ambiguous. (I shall show thee the abode of evil-livers) the abode of the transgressors which is hell; it is also said that this refers to Iraq, just as it is said that it refers to Egypt.
