8:35

وَمَا كَانَ صَلَاتُهُمْ عِندَ ٱلْبَيْتِ إِلَّا مُكَآءً وَتَصْدِيَةً فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole form I verbal noun is one of two performed acts to which the people's prayer at the House is reduced. The artifact records the whistling sound core and does not use the paired act to create an additional sense.
