The Key Word — יְהוָ֖ה, Yah.wehgenerated
The name יְהוָ֖ה (Yahweh) is the covenant name of God, signifying His eternal and self-existent nature. It is used throughout the Old Testament to denote the God of Israel, emphasizing His relationship with His people.
In this verse, Yahweh's hand represents His power and authority, symbolizing His active involvement in the world. The verb form indicates that His hand will rest, suggesting a state of stability and protection over the mountain, contrasting with the fate of Moab.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is תָנ֥וּחַ, it will rest, which governs the subject יְהוָ֖ה and the prepositional phrase בָּהָ֣ר on this mountain. The second part of the verse introduces a contrasting clause with another verb וְנָ֤דוֹשׁ, and it will be trampled down, indicating the fate of Moab.
The structure emphasizes the contrast between God's protective hand and the judgment on Moab, highlighting the prophetic nature of the declaration.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יְהוָ֖ה as θεὸς (Theos), which retains the sense of divinity but shifts the focus slightly from the covenant name to a more general term for God.
The translation of תָנ֥וּחַ as ἀνάπαυσιν (anapausin) suggests a resting or cessation, which aligns with the idea of divine presence but may lack the specific covenantal implications of the Hebrew.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) Moab shall be trodden down . . .—There seems at first something like a descent from the great apocalypse of a triumph over death and sin and sorrow, to a name associated with the local victories or defeats of a remote period in the history of Israel. The inscription of the Moabite stone, in connection with Isaiah 15, helps to explain the nature of the allusion. Moab had been prominent among the enemies of Israel; the claims of Chemosh, the god of Moab, had been set up against those of Jehovah, the God of Israel (Records of the Past, xi. 166), and so the name had become representative of His enemies. There was a mystical Moab, as there was afterwards a mystical Babylon, and in Rabbinic…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges10. The fate of Moab is contrasted with that of Israel. It is as if one hand of Jehovah rested lightly and protectingly on Zion while the other crushes and extinguishes Moab. under him] means “under himself,” i.e. in the place where he (Moab) stands. for the dunghill] R.V. in the water of the dunghill rightly follows the consonantal text in opposition to the Massoretic tradition. But it should have at the same time substituted “dung-pit” for “dunghill.” This word (madmçnâh) is perhaps a play on the name Madmen (Jeremiah 48:2); it also resembles the word for “straw” (mathbçn).

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trodden into the dung pile." The Septuagint closely matches the Masoretic Text, with 12 of the 13 words aligning, although it presents them in a different order and structure. The Dead Sea Scrolls, both 1Qisaa and 4Q57, also agree with the Masoretic Text, preserving the same essential wording. 1Qisaa has 13 words that directly correspond to the Masoretic Text, while 4Q57 has some restored and supplied words but maintains the overall meaning. Thus, all ancient witnesses agree with the Masoretic Text in this verse, affirming its content and message.
כִּֽי־ תָנ֥וּחַ יַד־ יְהוָ֖ה בָּהָ֣ר הַזֶּ֑ה וְנָ֤דוֹשׁ מוֹאָב֙ תַּחְתָּ֔יו כְּהִדּ֥וּשׁ מַתְבֵּ֖ן בְּמ֥וֹ מַדְמֵנָֽה׃
12 of the 13 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.
כי תנוח יד יהוה בהר הזה ונדש מואב תחתי׳ו כחדוש מתבן במי מדמנה
13 words on the leather.
[כי] [תנוח] [יד] [יהוה] [בהר] [הזה] ונדוש מואב תחתי׳ו [כהדוש] מתבן במי [מדמנה]
1 word on the leather — 4 partly restored, 8 supplied entire by an editor.
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. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
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.'
יהוה c. 6823 i.e. יַהְוֶה n.pr.dei Yahweh, the proper name of the God of Israel—(1. MT יְהֹוָה 6518 (Qr אֲדֹנָי), or יֱהֹוִה 305 (Qr אֱלֹהִים) 2. Many recent scholars explain יַהְוֶה as Hiph. of הוה (= היה) the one bringing into being, life-giver)
יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
יהוה is used with אלהים and suffixes, especially in D
the phrase † אֲנִי יהוה is noteworthy
יהוה is also used with several predicates, to form sacred names of holy places of Yahweh

Straw
Used in brick-making (Ex. 5:7-18). Used figuratively in Job 41:27; Isa. 11:7; 25:10; 65:25.
Both wheat and barley straw were used by the ancient Hebrews chiefly as fodder for the horses cattle and camels. (Genesis 24:25; 1 Kings 4:28; Isaiah 11:7; 66:25) There is no intimation that straw was used for litter. It was employed by the Egyptians for making bricks, (Exodus 5:7,16) being chopped up and mixed with the clay to make them more compact and to prevent their cracking. [See BRICK] The ancient Egyptians reaped their corn close to the ear, and afterward cut the straw close to the ground and laid it by. This was the straw that Pharaoh refused to give to the Israelites who were therefore compelled to gather "stubble" instead --a matter of considerable difficulty, seeing that the straw itself had been cut off near to the…
