Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلَقَدْ (And indeed) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Emphatic لَ (indeed)
وَلَقَدْ (And indeed) starts with لَ for emphasis — it's like saying "indeed!" or "certainly!".
We add "indeed" or "certainly" to show the emphasis.

Sahih International

And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
