Arabic term

يقدم نفسه

Arabic to English Social Sciences Religion
يهوذا يقدّم نفسه : " ‏قَالُوا۟ يَٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ إِنَّ لَهُۥٓ أَبًۭا شَيْخًۭا كَبِيرًۭا فَخُذْ أَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهُۥٓ ۖ إِنَّا نَرَىٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
(**يوسف** 78:12)

There is no more context. It's just يهوذا يقدم نفسه then this verse of holy Quran.
Do you think the meaning of يقدم نفسه here means "Presenting himself" Or "Put himself in advance/ put himself infront"

What's your point of view? If you have a third option, feel free to write it.


Thanks in advance,

Sacrificing himself

أحس أنه التقديم هنا بمعنى التضحية بنفسه مكان أخيه عليهما السلام.

بل حسب ما جرى به السياق
