«يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ»
“He brings the living out of the dead and the dead out of the living.”
The positions of “living” and “dead” are reversed across the two clauses, bringing both relationships into view.
«لَا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّ»
“Those women are not lawful for them, nor are those men lawful for the women.”
Here the reversal in the relations expressed by the pronouns specifies the judgment from both sides.
