Commentary
And when the listener knew that they would certainly not respond to him with anything, he longed for that. He was answered by saying: ﴿They said, 'Build for him'﴾; meaning: for his sake; ﴿a structure﴾; meaning: made of wood; until it becomes like a great mountain. So burn it until its flame becomes very intense, and it becomes a blazing fire. ﴿Then throw him into﴾ that ﴿blazing fire﴾; meaning: the greatest of the fire; and it is at its most intense in terms of fueling.
