Excellent writeup! An observation to note regarding the reason why C5 and C6 have been switched in the Jacob Family Parallelism is that, in the first instance, Jacob is patient after receiving bad news. In the second instance, Jacob receives good news as a reward for being patient, so this is one of many lessons taught by the Surah, and Allah knows best.

Thank you for the compliment

I've heard that interpretation for the reason for the flipped parallel as well. Could be a lesson taught thru the structure. Would love for a qualified scholar to be able to look at it one day
