Commentary on Ezekiel 21:9
"Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:" The poetic repetition "A sword, a sword" creates urgency and emphasis. "Sharpened" (chuddadah, חֻדָּדָה) and "furbished" (merutah, מְרֻטָה, polished) indicate complete preparation for battle. The sword isn't dull or rusty but perfectly maintained, ready for maximum effectiveness. This preparation imagery emphasizes judgment's certainty—God's sword is ready, waiting only for appointed time to strike.
