Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Who shall inherit of me) who shall inherit my office and position (and inherit (also) of the house of Jacob) if they have an office and kingship, for the family of Jacob were John's maternal uncles. (And make him, my Lord, acceptable (unto Thee)) make him well pleasing to you and righteous.
