חצרה. אל החצר כל תיבה שצריכה למ"ד בתחלתה הטיל לה ה"א בסופה:

36:21

וַיִּשְׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת־יְהוּדִי לָקַחַת אֶת־הַמְּגִלָּה וַיִּקָּחֶהָ מִלִּשְׁכַּת אֱלִישָׁמָע הַסֹּפֵר וַיִּקְרָאֶהָ יְהוּדִי בְּאׇזְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וּבְאׇזְנֵי כׇּל־הַשָּׂרִים הָעֹמְדִים מֵעַל הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

Rashi

ואת האח. פירשו רבותינו עצים על שם שנדלקים באחוה (כלומר שנדלקים זה מזה כאחים שמהנים זה לזה סא"א) ולפי פשוטו משמע שהוא כלי שמבערין עליו אור לפני השרים:

36:23

וַיְהִי ׀ כִּקְרוֹא יְהוּדִי שָׁלֹשׁ דְּלָתוֹת וְאַרְבָּעָה יִֽקְרָעֶהָ בְּתַעַר הַסֹּפֵר וְהַשְׁלֵךְ אֶל־הָאֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר אֶל־הָאָח עַד־תֹּם כׇּל־הַמְּגִלָּה עַל־הָאֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר עַל־הָאָֽח׃

And it came to pass, that when Yehudi had read three or four leaves, he would cut it with a penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.

שלש דלתות. רבותינו אמרו מגלת קינות היתה קראו לפניו איכה בכה תבכה גלתה יהודה דרכי ציון אבילות בכל זה לא חש אמר אני מלך על הנותרים כיון שקרא היו צריה לראש אמר מעכשיו איני מלך מיד ויקרעה בתער הסופר:

יקרעה. כמו קרעה:

36:24

וְלֹא פָחֲדוּ וְלֹא קָרְעוּ אֶת־בִּגְדֵיהֶם הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכׇל־עֲבָדָיו הַשֹּׁמְעִים אֵת כׇּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃

Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

וְגַם אֶלְנָתָן וּדְלָיָהוּ וּגְמַרְיָהוּ הִפְגִּעוּ בַמֶּלֶךְ לְבִלְתִּי שְׂרֹף אֶת־הַמְּגִלָּה וְלֹא שָׁמַע אֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
