Why this meaning was chosen
All five family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Two perfect Form-I verbs predicate the precedent or example of former peoples having passed into established history. One plural imperative commands Lot's household to proceed where ordered, and one first-person subjunctive has Moses resolve to proceed for ages if needed. One verbal noun names moving forward in contrast with returning. Tense, person, number, mood, imperative force, temporal subject, duration, verbal-noun derivation, and negation compose locally. Spatial travel, temporal passage, and an established former precedent preserve one onward-progression core without Quran-internal contradiction. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
