** Note 002:067: The Holy Qor-aan has frequently used the word جَعَلۡنَا (ja-aul-naa = We made) including in verses 002:067, 002:144 Twice,  036:009,  036:010,  078:010, 078:011, 078:012. It is shown in this work as a v., past., pl., 1st person, i.e., verb (v), in the past tense (past), plural (pl) and for the 1st person. This word is a combination of two words. The first word is  جَعَلۡ  (ja-aul = v., past., s., 3rd person) which on its own means He appointed, assigned, brought into being, created, designed, fashioned, formed, ordained or set up. The second word is  نَآ  (= naa,= pro., pl., 1st person) and means we or us, but used with the name of God reflects the authoritative way a higher-up talks to a subordinate. The process of combining these words has created the word  جَعَلۡنَا  (= We made) as an act by a 1st person as shown in Note 001:007)
