3 - And among them are those who interpret Arabic words without knowing their meanings as understood by the experts, meanings which can only be learned by listening to Arabic scholars and interpreters.
يُؤْخَذُ — can be taken. A passive verb, 'is taken / received,' doer unnamed — the meanings are received, but the receiver is beside the point. With 'not... except' around it, the sense is they can be GOT in only one way.
