Exegesis
Finally, the Qal passive participle mu'adot {מֻעָּדוֹת | mūʿaddôt} ‘are appointed’ serves as the apodosis, declaring the fixed decree of destiny. The progression from sharpening, through directional imperatives, to the declaration of appointed placement constructs a sequence of preparation, action, and irrevocable judgment.
