There is good reason by context, by other verses of the Quran, and by logic, that it refers to the 12 successors of Moses and by flow, the light brought down with the Prophet to be followed, refers to the 12 successors of Mohammad.
Not 11, and not 13. 14 is right out. Who in their right mind would doubt the legitimacy of borrowed numerology? Yes..yes.
