12:9

ٱقْتُلُوا۟ يُوسُفَ أَوِ ٱطْرَحُوهُ أَرْضًا يَخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ أَبِيكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ قَوْمًا صَٰلِحِينَ

Alternative: kill Joseph or kill him in some land

Research rendering: kill Joseph or cast him away in some land

The coordinator أَو sets the target action against killing as a distinct proposal, so repeating 'kill' collapses the verse's explicit alternative.
