68
وَلَمّا دَخَلوا مِن حَيثُ أَمَرَهُم أَبوهُم ما كانَ يُغني عَنهُم مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن شَيءٍ إِلّا حاجَةً في نَفسِ يَعقوبَ قَضاها ۚ وَإِنَّهُ لَذو عِلمٍ لِما عَلَّمناهُ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَعلَمونَ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

And when they entered Egypt in compliance with what their father had commanded, that command could not save them from Allah’s (Decree) but it was Ya‘qub’s (Jacob’s) heartfelt desire which he fulfilled and (also take not this desire or strategy as meaningless — for you know it not). Surely Ya‘qub (Jacob) possessed knowledge as We had blessed with (special) knowledge but most people do not know (these realities).
