Exegesis
The verse opens with ve-atah {וְאַתָּה | wə-ʾat-tāh} as a direct address, followed by the vocative ben-adam {בֶן־אָדָם | ben-ʾāḏām} “Son of Man,” which frames the instructions as a commanded sign-act to the prophet.
In context — Ezekiel 21:19
And you, Son of Man, set for yourself two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to come; from one land both of them shall go out. And choose a signpost ; choose it at the head of the way to a city.
