12:72

قَالُوا۟ نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَلِمَن جَآءَ بِهِۦ حِمْلُ بَعِيرٍ وَأَنَا۠ بِهِۦ زَعِيمٌ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole family occurrence was reviewed on one bounded page; it is the only frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 12:70-76 describes an object placed in Joseph's brother's sack, announces that the king's suwa is missing, and later extracts the object from that sack. This internal sequence supports a portable cup without requiring an external claim about its material, capacity, or ceremonial use. The masculine singular accusative noun, direct-object role after نَفْقِدُ, and construct with ٱلْمَلِكِ compose locally. No aligned reading payload, counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
