Laraba is a word similar to "Get" in English. Think of all the usages of it. Depends on the context of the verse, not the context of a story written two centuries later.
Yes a context you refuse to look it but instead go to another context then inject it to resolve your issues.
The word strike will have many meanings. It struck me. It struck her. I got a stroke. We put up a strike. etc. The arabic word has more usages than that. It could be a combination of several english words.
Again going to another context thus a shift in definition.
Anyway I do not generally like to quote lexicons because understanding the Quran goes much further and its not simple to make someone understand. Nevertheless, you accused me of quoting you sources I have not read. I quoted you Ghulams dictionary not to suit my agenda but since you mentioned Quranic lexicon which does not exist. And it is easier to read this kind of dictionary if you really wish to read something.
You do not like Lexicons as none agree with your interpretation.
Nevertheless, look at Malik Ghulam Farids dictionary that spoke of so vehemently.
Go look at his English translations of the Quran. This directly contradicts your claims. So either your source is incompetent or your argument is in error.

The rest of your tripe has zero merit give the contradiction in the two books linked above made by the same author of the dictionary. I already linked Lane's Lexicon which is also used by my Quran Corpus source which again aligns with my vies not your own.
Again your argument is that all translations are wrong but your own. Translations from people that are fluent in Arabic and English. You fail to see how disconnected your claims are from translations from experts. Translations authorized by Universities such as Al-Azhar.
All I see if twisting of words to fit Western sense of morality while ignoring tradition and experts.
