[41] From this verse, it is understood that some of the Children of Israel remained in Egypt and not all of them departed with Prophet Musa ؑ. When Pharaoh and all his courtiers were drowned and destroyed, the rule of Pharaoh's family also ended, and those Israelites who had stayed behind took possession of their palaces and gardens. It is also possible that the Israelites took control of a part of Egypt. And it is also possible that this verse refers to the era when the kingdom of Prophet Sulaiman ؑ extended to Egypt, and the Israelites took possession of the palaces and gardens of the Pharaohs. ﴿والله اعلم بالصواب﴾
