Readings
نَكْتَلْ
naktal
“so we can take (another) measure”
يَكْتَلْ
yaktal
“so he can take his measure”

Explanation

These readings are complementary, as Jacob's sons intended that Benjamin be sent with them to take his measure, which would mean that collectively they would receive a larger quantity [al-Mahdawi].

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
