Commentary
He means by guidance all that He has given in the matter of religion from miracles, the Torah, and the laws. And We inherited and left for the Children of Israel after him the Book, meaning the Torah, as guidance and a reminder, for guidance and a reminder. Their grammatical case is either as a purpose or as a state. And those of understanding are the believers in it who act according to what is in it.
