Exegesis
The clause me-erets echad {מֵאֶרֶץ אֶחָד | mēʾereṣ ʾeḥāḏ} is fronted before the verb yetse'u {יֵצְאוּ | yēṣəʾû}, highlighting a single point of origin; the subject shenehem {שְׁנֵיהֶם | šənêhem} “both of them” clarifies that the two routes share that origin.
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.
