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.
