Ezekiel 21:16

Perhaps with R.V., "gather thee together, go to the right; set thyself in array, go to the left!" The sword is addressed by the Lord and bidden concentrate its force to smite on the right, and set itself on to slaughter on the left. Others by changes in the text find a command to the sword to smite in all the four directions (Boett.), which is more artificial.

thy faceis set Or, thine edge is appointed. Cf. same word "appointed" used of the sword, Jeremiah 47:7, of the rod, Micah 6:9.
