Exegesis
The noun ḥar-bō {חַרְבּוֹ | ḥar-bō} carries a third person masculine singular pronominal suffix denoting possession, and the phrase ʾel-nə-dā-nāh {אֶל־נְדָנָהּ | ʾel-nə-dā-nāh} functions as a directional expression indicating motion into the sheath. The VSO word order in both clauses underscores the immediate compliance of the angel following the LORD’s command.
