70:43

يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is a third-person-plural Form IV imperfect in a comparison introduced by كَأَنَّهُمْ. The people already emerge swiftly from the graves, and their movement is likened to directed motion toward a raised goal, fixing rapid destination-oriented movement.
