set her face to leave

If a man’s wife, dwelling in a man’s house, has set her face to
leave, has been guilty of dissipation, has wasted her house, and
has neglected her husband; then she shall be prosecuted. If her
husband says she is divorced, he shall let her go her way; he shall
give her nothing for divorce.

I think in this text, this phrase means that "she" determined to leave. Do you think so?
And in the first sentence, what is "guilty of dissipation"? I think it should have a same meaning to "waste one's house". Am I right?
