H2300A–חָדַד–cha.dad

Son of man, say as a prophet, These are the words of the Lord: Say, A sword, a sword which has been made sharp and polished:

הוּחַ֖דָּה hu.Cha.dah “it has been sharpened”

It has been made sharp to give death; it is polished so that it may be like a thunder-flame: ...

הוּחַ֔דָּה hu.Cha.dah “it has been sharpened”

And I have given it to the polisher so that it may be taken in the hand: he has made the sword sharp, he has had it polished, to put it into the hand of him who gives death.

הוּחַ֤דָּה hu.Cha.dah “it has been sharpened”

And their horses are quicker than leopards and their horsemen more cruel than evening wolves; they come from far away, like an eagle in flight rushing on its food.
