Translation
And We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
I placed before them a barrier to the truth and behind them another barrier. I covered their eyes from the truth so they cannot see in a manner that is of benefit to them. This happened to them after their stubborness and persistence in disbelief became apparent.
