Transliteration:( Wa iz qataltum nafsan faddaara'tum feehaa wallaahu mukhrijum maa kuntum taktumoon )
131. Although the murderer was one but there were many accomplices, hence the plural form of the verb is used. Also, the Yahud in the time of the Holy Prophet were the descendants of these Israelites, therefore they are being addressed. As an example, when we tell the Hindus we had ruled India for eight hundred years, what we really mean is that our forefathers had accomplished this feat over your forefathers. The same is the case here.
