quran:3:187

And ˹mention, O Muhammad˺, when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, ˹saying˺, "You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it." But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And wretched is that which they purchased.  

And, mention, when God made covenant with those who had been given the Scripture, that is, the pledge ˹taken˺ from them in the Torah, ‘You shall expound it (read tubayyinunnahu, or yubayyinunnahu, ‘they shall expound it’) the Book, to people, and not conceal it’ (read taktumūnahu, ‘you shall not conceal it’, or yaktumūnahu, ‘they shall not conceal it’). But they rejected it, they discarded the covenant, behind their backs, and so they did not act in accordance with it, and bought with it, they took in its place, a small price, of this world from the debased among them, enjoying supremacy over them in knowledge, and they concealed it, lest it ˹the supremacy˺ escape them; how evil is what they have bought, ˹how evil is˺ this purchase of theirs!
القرآن:٣:١٨٧

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكْتُمُونَهُ فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَاشْتَرَوْا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۖ فَبِئْسَ مَا يَشْتَرُونَ  

{و} اذكر {إذ أخذ الله ميثاق الذين أوتوا الكتاب} أي العهد عليهم في التوراة {لَيُبَيِّنَنَّهُ} أي الكتاب {للناس ولا يكتمونه} أي الكتاب بالياء والتاء في الفعلين {فنبذوه} طرحوا الميثاق {وراء ظهورهم} فلم يعملوا به {واشتروا به} أخذوا بدله {ثمنا قليلا} من الدنيا من سفلتهم برياستهم في العلم فكتموه خوف فوته عليهم {فبئس ما يشترون} شراؤهم هذا.
