The Key Word — מוֹאָב, u.ve.mo.'Avgenerated
The word מוֹאָב (Moab) refers to both a person and a territory, specifically the land and descendants of Lot's son. The name signifies 'of his father,' which reflects the incestuous origins of Moab. This term appears frequently in the Old Testament, often in contexts discussing the Moabites and their interactions with Israel.
In this verse, Moab is the object of God's judgment, indicating that the nation will face consequences for its actions. The use of this term highlights the significance of Moab's identity in relation to God's plan and the unfolding narrative of Israel's history.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb אֶעֱשֶׂ֣ה (I will bring about) governs the main clause, with the object שְׁפָטִ֑ים (judgments) directly following. The structure emphasizes the action of executing judgments as the central focus of the verse.
The subsequent clause וְיָדְע֖וּ (and they will know) introduces the result of the judgments, linking it back to the subject אֲנִ֥י (I), which is emphasized by the predicate יְהוָֽה (Yahweh). This arrangement highlights the cause-and-effect relationship between God's actions and the recognition of His identity.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates מוֹאָב as μωαβ, maintaining the same reference to the land and people of Moab. This choice reflects a direct correspondence to the Hebrew term, indicating no significant interpretive shift.
For שְׁפָטִ֑ים, the LXX uses ἐκδίκησιν, which conveys the idea of punishment or retribution. This choice emphasizes the theme of justice and aligns with the Hebrew meaning while broadening the understanding of the nature of God's judgments.

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges8–11. Prophecy against Moab The Moabites, like the Ammonites, were recognised by Israel as a kindred people (Genesis 19:30). Technically the border of Moab on the N. was the Arnon, but they had pretensions to the district lying beyond this stream at least as far as the head of the Dead Sea, and these pretensions they often asserted. Practically the tribes of Reuben and Gad seem to have been unable to make good their claim to this territory by dispossessing the Moabites. The peoples appear to have mixed together, and frequently Moab is found in possession of the fertile district and the numerous cities which covered it (Mesha’s Inscrip.). The country was subdued by David, and on the division…

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
