Bible Versus Quran Versus Sciences, (76) the Israelites' Plays

Before dealing with the topic of the PLAY in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is mandatory to remember that the total words in the Bible are 788,280 while the total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise. The PLAY is mentioned 45 times in the Bible (KJV) and 19 times in the Quran, i.e. the Bible mentions the PLAY more than two times as does the Quran. In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times (word-wise) and more than twice (subject-wise) than the Quran to talk about the PLAY.
In this series, the topic of the Play is classified into six parts, herein is the first part, that is The Israelites' Plays which is mentioned more than 12 times in the Bible and only two times in the Quran.

The Israelites' Play in the Quran:

The first Israelite was Jacob.
Jacob's name had been changed to Israel
It follows that Jacob's sons are the first Israelites in the History. They were 12 Israelites and are the root of the 12 Israelites' tribes.
Herein, we will see what the first ten Israelites had done to their brother and father!
Ten out of these 12 Israelites took Joseph to get rid of him after convincing their father Israel (Jacob) that they want to play with their brother!
The only problem of Joseph in the eyes of the 10 Israelites was that Jacob loved him very much.
That is it!

Surah: 12, Verse: 7-12

[7] Indeed, in Joseph and his brothers there were signs for those who inquire.
[8] They said: 'Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than ourselves, even though we are many. Truly, our father is obviously wrong.
[9] (Let us) kill Joseph, or cast him away in some (far off) land, so that your father's face will be left for you, and afterwards you will be a righteous nation. '
[10] One of them said: 'no, do not kill Joseph, if you do anything, cast him into a dark pit, a traveler will pick him up. '
[11] They said: 'father, what is the matter with you, do you not trust us with Joseph? Indeed, we are sincere advisors.
[12] Send him with us tomorrow to frolic and play. We will look after him. '
[13] He said: 'it grieves me to let him go with you, for i fear lest the wolf should devour him when you are not paying attention to him. '
[14] They said: 'we are many, if a wolf devours him, then we are losers! '
[15] When they went with him, they agreed to put him in the bottom of a well. we revealed to him: 'you shall tell them of what they did when they are not aware (it is you). '
[16] At nightfall, they returned weeping to their father.
[17] They said: 'we went racing and left Joseph with our things. the wolf devoured him, but you will not believe us, though we speak the truth. '
[18] And they brought his shirt (stained) with blood, a lie. he said: 'no, your souls have tempted you to do something. but come sweet patience! the help of Allah is always there to seek against that which you describe. '

The Israelites said 'Allah has never sent down anything to a mortal (Mohammad), the Quran replies: 'who, then sent down the book which Moses brought?

Surah: 6, Verse: 91

QARIB: they have not valued Allah with his true value, when they said 'Allah has never sent down anything to a mortal. 'Say: 'who, then sent down the book which Moses brought, a light and guidance for people? You put it on to parchments, revealing them and hiding much, you have now been taught what neither you nor your fathers knew before! 'Say: 'Allah. 'Then leave them, playing in their plunging.

SHAKIR: and they do not assign to Allah the attributes due to him when they say: Allah has not revealed anything to a mortal. say: who revealed the book which Moses brought, a light and a guidance to men, which you make into scattered writings which you show while you conceal much? and you were taught what you did not know, (neither) you nor your fathers. Say: Allah then leave them playing in their vain discourses.

PICKTHAL: and they measure not the power of Allah its true measure when they say: Allah hath naught revealed unto a human being. say (unto the Jews who speak thus): who revealed the book which Moses brought, a light and guidance for mankind, which ye have put on parchments which ye show, but ye hide much (thereof), and (by which) ye were taught that which ye knew not yourselves nor (did) your fathers (know it)? Say: Allah. Then leave them to their play of cavilling.

YUSUFALI: no just estimate of Allah do they make when they say: "nothing doth Allah send down to man (by way of revelation)" say: "who then sent down the book which Moses brought?- a light and guidance to man: but ye make it into (separate) sheets for show, while ye conceal much (of its contents): therein were ye taught that which ye knew not- neither ye nor your fathers." say: "Allah (sent it down)": then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling.
