** Note 003:004.  Note. Some translations have continued this verse and included the earlier part of the next verse to it and said the following.

“And He had sent down the Torah and the Bible before that as a guidance for the people and sent down also the Criterion.” 

But as stated in the Note 003:005, “Placing a part of this verse in the preceding verse neither changes the Text nor materially influence its meanings.” That’s why this site has put them up separately as two verses numbering 003:004 and 003:005.
