20:94

قَالَ يَبْنَؤُمَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَتِى وَلَا بِرَأْسِىٓ إِنِّى خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِى

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole noun is the object of taking and is coordinated with the speaker's head as a second object. The target contains the noun stem; its attached possessive participant remains compositional outside the core rendering.
