73. 2. This is a parenthetical sentence which has no connection with what comes before or after; its only purpose is to clarify the real nature of their schemes and tricks, that nothing will come from their statements because guidance is in Allah's control—He gives guidance to whom He wills or wishes to give, and your tricks cannot become an obstacle in His way.
73. 3. This too is the saying of the Jews, meaning do not even admit that just as prophethood, etc., has remained among you, it can also be given to anyone else, and in this way, any religion other than Judaism can also be true.

The Plots of the Jews to Hinder the Path of Islam:
Their fourth attempt was that they would emphasize to one another to remain steadfast in their own religion, not to follow anyone from another faith, to listen to the Muslims but only accept what was in accordance with their own religion. And beware! Do not tell them anything from the Torah that goes against yourselves, otherwise, on the Day of Judgment, they will say before Allah that these Jews themselves used to acknowledge these things. In response, Allah instructed His beloved Prophet to say to them: You who claim to be the custodians of guidance, tell us, where did you get this guidance from? And if it is from Allah, then can He not reveal the same guidance to others as well? Especially when you have resorted to all kinds of dishonesty in defiance of Allah's commands?
