The way my father explained it to me is the following: If one will say,
"Ve-ishei Yisrael utefilatam be-ahava tikabel..." "And receive with love the
fire-offerings of Israel and their prayers....", he has just said
something incomprehensible. There are no fire-offerings these days
(unfortunately). The most logical construct
is, "vehashaiv et avodah lidvir betacha ve-ishei Yisrael" "and return
the service and the fire-offerings of Israel to the Holy of Holies of
your house".>>

This is the conclusion of the Gra. I don't understand why most siddurim do not
punctuate it this way
