Exegesis
The imperfect verb tetse {תֵּצֵא | te-ṣēʾ} with kharbi {חַרְבִּי | ḥar-bî} “my sword” indicates impending execution, and the merism minegev tsafon {מִנֶּגֶב צָפוֹן | min-ne-gev ṣā-fōn} “from the south to the north” emphasizes totality.
In context — Ezekiel 21:4
Because I am about to cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked, my sword will come out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
