Surah Aal-i-Imraan
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it." But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And wretched is that which they purchased.﴿187﴾

Simplified Tafsir
واذكر -أيها الرسول- إذ أخذ الله العهد الموثق على الذين آتاهم الله الكتاب من اليهود والنصارى، فلليهود التوراة وللنصارى الإنجيل؛ ليعملوا بهما، ويبينوا للناس ما فيهما، ولا يكتموا ذلك ولا يخفوه، فتركوا العهد ولم يلتزموا به، وأخذوا ثمنا بخسًا مقابل كتمانهم الحق وتحريفهم الكتاب، فبئس الشراء يشترون، في تضييعهم الميثاق، وتبديلهم الكتاب.
