20:123 Vs 2:38 Recount Of Adam عليه السلام Being Sent Down
Ta Ha – 20:123
Arabic
قَالَ ٱهۡبِطَا مِنۡهَا جَمِيعًۢاۖ بَعۡضُكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوٌّۖ فَإِمَّا يَأۡتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّى هُدًى فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَاىَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشۡقَىٰ
Al-Baqarah – 2:38
Arabic
قُلۡنَا ٱهۡبِطُواْ مِنۡهَا جَمِيعًاۖ فَإِمَّا يَأۡتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّى هُدًى فَمَن تَبِعَ هُدَاىَ فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ
Why are there two different recounts of what seems to be the same event? A different answer to the condition of obeying the guidance can be understood since perhaps both were said. But why is the imperative verb form in 20:123 in the dual form and in 2:38 the plural version?
