The Key Word — אֲכֶּה, 'a.Kehgenerated
The verb אֲכֶּה ('a.Keh) is a first-person singular form of the Hiphil verb meaning 'to strike' or 'to smite.' It indicates an active engagement in delivering judgment or punishment, often associated with divine action. This word is used in contexts of both literal striking and metaphorical punishment, highlighting God's role as the executor of justice.
In this verse, the use of אֲכֶּה underscores the decisive nature of God's judgment. It conveys not just an action but the authority behind it, as the LORD prepares to enact His will upon the people.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, where the BSB uses strike to translate אֲכֶּה, aligning with the KJV and ASV, which also maintain the sense of hitting or smiting.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs אַכֶּה and וַהֲנִחֹתִ֖י govern the clauses, indicating actions taken by the subject אֲנִי, 'I.' The structure is straightforward, with the subject followed by two verbs that express the LORD's intentions. This clarity in structure emphasizes the authority of God's declaration.
The sentence flows from the conjunction וְגַם־, introducing the LORD's actions as part of a larger prophetic message, linking His intent to strike with His promise to bring rest to His wrath.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew אֲכֶּה is rendered as υἱὲ (to strike), which maintains the same sense of action but may imply a broader context of judgment. This choice reflects the translators' understanding of God's authoritative actions.
The use of ἐν for כַפִּי֙ suggests a focus on the means by which God's wrath is satisfied, emphasizing the role of His hands in executing judgment.

At Ezekiel 21:18 the third and final prophecy of the chapter begins, and, besides being much more explicit than the others, includes also a new subject (Ezekiel 21:28-32), a prophecy against Ammon. Hitherto it has only been foretold that Judah shall be desolated, now it is added that this shall be effected by the king of Babylon, and that he shall also extend his conquests to the Ammonites.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Ezekiel 21:17 states, "וְגַם־ אֲנִ֗י אַכֶּ֤ה כַפִּי֙ אֶל־ כַּפִּ֔י וַהֲנִחֹתִ֖י חֲמָתִ֑י אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבַּֽרְתִּי׃ פ" which translates to "I too will strike My hands together, and I will satisfy My wrath.’ I, the LORD, have spoken.” The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in meaning, as all 11 words are matched in a word-by-word correspondence, though the word order and articles may differ. There are no significant differences noted in the Samaritan Pentateuch or the Dead Sea Scrolls for this verse, indicating a strong textual consistency across these ancient witnesses.
וְגַם־ אֲנִ֗י אַכֶּ֤ה כַפִּי֙ אֶל־ כַּפִּ֔י וַהֲנִחֹתִ֖י חֲמָתִ֑י אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבַּֽרְתִּי׃ פ
11 of the 11 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.

strik: The verbs "to strike" and "to stroke" (latter not in English Versions) have the same derivation, and originally "strike" was the intrans, "stroke" the transitive form. "Strike" however, became used in both senses (always transitive in English Versions of the Bible), while "to stroke" took on the meaning "to, rub gently." But in the King James Version this last force still belonged sometimes to "strike" and is so found in 2Ki 5:11, "strike his hand over the place" (the Revised Version (British and American) "wave"), and perhaps Ex 12:7,22; Tobit 11:11 Otherwise AV's uses of the simple "strike" are modern, including "strike sail" (Ac 27:17; here and in /RAPC Tob 11:11 with an archaic preterite "strake," elsewhere…
