20:64

فَأَجْمِعُوا۟ كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱئْتُوا۟ صَفًّا وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنِ ٱسْتَعْلَىٰ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 70 frozen occurrences were reviewed as one family. Spatial height controls the core, while comparison, human arrogance, divine exaltation, invitation, and grammatical number are rendered compositionally. The seven aligned witnesses were consulted for 76:21 and 83:18-19; their case variation at 76:21 does not change 'above them,' and they preserve the Illiyyun form. No accepted meaning or pre-existing draft was edited.
