The answer

Al-Alusi mentioned that the deferment of "raghadan" (plentifully) in the story of the Children of Israel was for the sake of the verse's concluding rhythm (fasila) in His saying, the Most High: "And enter the gate prostrating." It is known that the subtleties (nukat) mentioned by scholars regarding the Qur'an are probable matters, not definitive ones.
