באצבע צרדה – the finger that is closest to the thumb. And the language of צרדה/snap is (see Talmud Yoma 19b – a phonetic play), the match to this (the middle finger) what is it? The thumb, i.e., the sound produced with these two fingers, the nearest to the thumb, closest to it, and they would combine the thumb with the finger closest to it, and it would slip off and strike his palm and produces a sound so that the High Priest doesn’t sleep.
עמוד – on your feet.
והפג אחת על הרצפה – of marble in order to remove the head, for the coolness of the feet removes the sleep and the word הפג is the language of removal, like (Talmud Betza 14a) like spices “losing their taste” when pounded the day before.
פרחי כהונה. בחורים שמתחיל שער זקנם לפרוח קרויין פרחי:
באצבע צרדה. האצבע הסמוכה לאגודל. ולשון צרדה. צרתא דדא כלומר צרתה של האגודל הסמוכה לה, היו מחברים האגודל באצבע הסמוכה לה ושומטה ומכה על כפו ומשמיע קול כדי שלא יישן כהן גדול:
עמוד. על רגליך:
והפג אחת על הרצפה. של שיש להסיר חומם. שצינון הרגלים מסיר השינה, והפג לשון הסרה, כמו מפיגין טעמן [ביצה י״ד.]:
