هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمُنَا ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً لَّوْلَا يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهِم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۭ بَيِّنٍ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا

Why this meaning was chosen

All 523 family occurrences were reviewed in six pages. The protected locative بَيْن and protected prior draft remain untouched. Quran-internal pairings connect spatial separation ('between') with making, becoming, or standing distinct; morphology and syntax then render make distinct, ascertain, manifest evidence, manifest, articulation, and clarification. The compacted 'became clear' and 'clear proofs' suggestions are retained only as reconciled contextual candidates inside this whole-family core.
