Exegesis
Finally, le-tevach meʿutah {לְטֶבַח מְעֻטָּה | lə-ṯe-ḇaḥ mə-ʿuṭ-ṭāh} ‘for slaughter, prepared’ intensifies the weapon’s readiness. The sequence preserves poetic structure and heightens the portrayal of divine judgment.
In context — Ezekiel 21:15
So that their heart may faint, and to multiply the stumbling blocks at all their gates, I have set the flashing blade, sharpened for slaughter and prepared.
