Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: در اختیار کسی گذاشتن
Greetings,

This is another case where I'm almost sure that I know the meaning (‘to place at someone’s disposal’), but with a lack of any dictionary support I need to make sure.

Just so that you can understand the context, let me point out that God is being likened to a carpenter; his friends are the prophets.

ثانیا، اگر نجار بخواهد بیشتر خود را به ما معرفی کند ممکن است یکی از دوستان نزدیک خود را بفرستد و عطلاعات بیشتری در اختیار ما بگذارد.

آیا من می‌توانم خدا را بشناسم؟ is the title of a short book, btw.

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

You're right!God is being likened to a carpenter and the carpenter's friend is also being likened to a prophet.
