Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Yeremia 36:23

וַיְהִ֣י ׀ כִּקְר֣וֹא יְהוּדִ֗י שָׁלֹ֣שׁ דְּלָתוֹת֮ וְאַרְבָּעָה֒ יִֽקְרָעֶ֙הָ֙ בְּתַ֣עַר הַסֹּפֵ֔ר וְהַשְׁלֵ֕ךְ אֶל־הָאֵ֖שׁ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶל־הָאָ֑ח עַד־תֹּם֙ כָּל־הַמְּגִלָּ֔ה עַל־הָאֵ֖שׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר עַל־הָאָֽח׃

Setiap kali Yehudi selesai membacakan tiga atau empat ayat, raja mengoyaknya dengan pisau juru tulis, lalu melemparkannya ke dalam api di perapian, sampai seluruh gulungan itu habis terbakar dalam api di perapian.

Rashi

How can it be that she sits in isolation. Yirmiyahu wrote the book of Lamentations. 1Because Chapter 3 of Eichah begins with Yirmiyahu writing, “I am the man,” one might mistakenly think that is the beginning of Yirmiyahu’s writing, therefore Rashi states that he wrote the entire Book of Lamentations [=Eichah]. (Sifsei Chachomim) This is the scroll that Yehoyakim burned on the hearth.2See Yirmiyahu 36:23. It contained three3The three acrostics respond to the three tragedies that occurred: the physical exile of the Bnei Yisroel, the departure of the Shchinah and the loss of Eretz Yisroel. (Yalkut Me’am Lo’ez) alphabetical acrostics:4The alphabetical acrostic symbolizes the Bnei Yisroel’s transgression of the Torah which was written with the letters of the Aleph Beis. (Sifsei Chachomim) “Oh how can it be that she sits [in isolation],”5Eichah 1:1. “How can it be [that God] has cast a gloom,”6Ibid., 2:1. [and] “How dim can it be [that the golden glow] has paled.”7Ibid., 4:1. He added to it, “I am the man...”,8Ibid., 3:1. which contains three sets of alphabetical acrostics, as it is stated, “and many more words were added similar to those [of the original scroll],”9Yirmiyahu 36:32. three corresponding to three.10He also added Chapter 5. See Eichah Rabbah, Pesichta 28.
