12:70

فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ ٱلسِّقَايَةَ فِى رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَٰرِقُونَ

12:82

وَسْـَٔلِ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ ٱلَّتِى كُنَّا فِيهَا وَٱلْعِيرَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَقْبَلْنَا فِيهَا وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ

12:94

وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ ٱلْعِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوهُمْ إِنِّى لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ لَوْلَآ أَن تُفَنِّدُونِ

Why this meaning was chosen

All three family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. The caravan is directly addressed in 12:70, named as a group that can be asked in 12:82, and said to depart in 12:94. Definite article attachment and nominative versus accusative case compose locally. No aligned reading payload, Quran-internal counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
