The Word cuts like a two-edged sword causing repentance by the sinner or his/her rebellion against Elohim to continue, hence the name of Mount Horeb (also known as Mount Sinai) from the Hebrew word horeb meaning to lay waste, hereb the word for sword, and harab meaning to fight or slay. The Hebrew word for edge of the sword, peh, is the common word for mouth, thus that the spoken Word cuts like a two-edged sword, causing repentance by those who will be saved, the others lost in their refusing to confess their sin to the Holy Creator, Elohim, Father, Son, and Spirit.
