Thus it was: but [in the course of time] We were to bestow all these [things] as a heritage on the children of Israel.

Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.

Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.

Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the Children of Israel.

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.
