Commentary
And when it was as if it was said: How is one to respond to this? And is it accepted from him? It was said: No. The king, who encompasses knowledge and power, who has judged them from eternity, said: Do not dispute. That is, do not cause the dispute with this seriousness and effort in My presence, in the abode of recompense, in this presence which is above what you used to comprehend of the news about it by much. And what is truly astonishing is what is comprehended in full comprehension. The unveiling of what was astonishing to the elite, indeed to the elite of the elite, has occurred. With its unveiling, the benefit of new faith has been lost. And the state is that I have indeed commanded and advised before this time, reaching you with all that should be presented, so that there remains no ambiguity and I have left no one with an excuse in any way. And I made that a kindness to you, mixed with the warning, that is, the threat, which is the great fear for all that you have committed of disbelief and aggression at the time when this presence, which is the unseen of the unseen, was veiled by the veils of majesty and greatness. And indeed, what is beneath it from the unseen was also veiled, so belief in it was beneficial.
