Why did He say "Charvu Me'od"?

Rashi: As if you are destroyed, due to the Beis ha'Mikdash, which will be destroyed.

2.

Radak: This is a command. There is Kamatz Chataf under the Ches.

3.

Radak: The Mesores says that there is no Chataf (it is a regular Kamatz). R. Yonah says that some explain it like "Charvu Pnei ha'Adamah" (Bereishis 8:13). It is a command, but there is a Dagesh, like "Parku Nizmei ha'Zahav" (Shemos 32:2). R. Yonah disagreed due to the Mesorah.
