78 recitations by 72 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
So just as I made clear the signs and evidences for the previous nations, I make clear the lessons for these people (Quraish) so that they might repent from worshiping others as partners with Allah to believing in Him alone and worshipping Him alone, as they had agreed aforetime before they broke their promise.
This is how We make the verses clear, so that they may return.
Thus do We explain the Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail, so that they may turn (unto the truth).
Thus we detail the revelations, that haply they may return.
Thus do We explain the signs in detail; and perchance they may turn (unto Us).
And thus do We make clear the communications, and that haply they might return.
And thus We expound the signs and possibly that they would return..
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْـَٔايَٰتِ وَلِتَسْتَبِينَ سَبِيلُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
And thus do We detail the verses, and [thus] the way of the criminals will become evident.
