its midrashic explanation
side note: why is rashi going into Drash?
if the Torah wants us to focus on Pshat
it would have been written וישמח which is and not וַיִּחַדְּ, which is a very rare occurance, so Rashi brought in drash to help us understand why וַיִּחַדְּ was used
נַעֲשָׂה בְשָׂרוֹ חִדּוּדִין חִדּוּדִין
