وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِى كَيْفَ تُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِن قَالَ بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِى قَالَ فَخُذْ أَرْبَعَةً مِّنَ ٱلطَّيْرِ فَصُرْهُنَّ إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ ٱجْعَلْ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّ ٱدْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِينَكَ سَعْيًا وَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

Why this meaning was chosen
Form II repeatedly follows creation or occurs in the womb; its agent names the one who gives form and صُورَة names the resulting configuration. Ten صُور occurrences are consistently the object into which a blast is blown at gathering and resurrection, and are isolated as a lexical collision. The single imperative صُرْ at 2:260 governs birds with إليك and is conservatively rendered 'draw toward you' as a separate collision.
