وَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُورًا وَتَنْحِتُونَ ٱلْجِبَالَ بُيُوتًا فَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen
All four family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Three passages describe carving houses from or through mountains; one challenges worship of objects the addressees carve. Person, number, imperfect aspect, material مِن phrase, direct material object, result complement, and relative object compose locally. House excavation and shaped worship objects differ only in product; both require deliberate cutting of hard material. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
