The Aya says:
And we made the people that were treated as powerless inherit the easts and wests of the land that we blessed. And the beautiful statement of your (singular) nurturing Lord was perfected upon the children of Israel by their patience/ self restraint. And We destroyed what Pharaoh used to produce, he and his people and what they used to roof.
My personal note:
The term easts and wests was used because the words used plural in the sentence. It is plural of risings of the sun and settings of the sun. This point to the fact that the sun rises in diferent places and sets in diferent places as the seasons change the places of rising and setting of the sun. The blessed land is a term that used in the Qur’an several times and points to the lands around Jerusalem and in the general understanding of the books of Tafsir points to the area that is called in Arabic SHAM or greater Syria.
I did translated YASNAaa as produce and this is a word that may point to manufacturing to an Arabic speaker of today but it covers all sorts of production whether manufacturing or agriculture and so on. Also, the term YAAaRISHOON was translated as roofing because that is a more encompassing meaning of the term and it covers anything that acts as a barrier to what is above it whether it is a roof/ ceiling or arbor and so on. Many people of the Tafsir point to their palaces that they build and so on.
