So I will execute judgments
The phrase "execute judgments" in Hebrew is "עָשִׂיתִי שְׁפָטִים" (asiti shefatim). The word "execute" implies a decisive action, reflecting God's sovereign authority to carry out His will. The term "judgments" (shefatim) indicates legal decisions or decrees, emphasizing God's role as the ultimate judge. Historically, this reflects the divine justice system where God holds nations accountable for their actions. The execution of judgments is not arbitrary but is rooted in God's righteousness and holiness, serving as a reminder of His moral governance over the world.

on Moab
Moab was a nation east of Israel, often in conflict with the Israelites. The Moabites were descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, which adds a familial dimension to their interactions with Israel. Archaeological findings, such as the Mesha Stele, provide insights into Moab's history and its relations with Israel. God's judgment on Moab signifies His impartiality; even nations with historical ties to His people are not exempt from accountability. This serves as a warning and a call to repentance, illustrating that proximity to God's people does not guarantee immunity from His justice.

and they will know
The phrase "they will know" (וְיָדְעוּ, veyade'u) is a recurring theme in Ezekiel, emphasizing the purpose of God's actions. Knowledge here is not merely intellectual but experiential, leading to an acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. This knowledge is transformative, intended to bring about a change in understanding and behavior. It underscores the idea that God's judgments are revelatory, designed to reveal His character and authority to the nations.

that I am the LORD
The declaration "I am the LORD" (אֲנִי יְהוָה, ani YHWH) is a profound assertion of God's identity and authority. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) is significant, as it is the covenant name of God, denoting His eternal, self-existent nature. This phrase is a central theme in Ezekiel, reinforcing God's desire for recognition and relationship. It serves as a reminder of His faithfulness to His covenant and His ultimate control over history. The acknowledgment of God as LORD is the intended outcome of His judgments, leading to a deeper understanding of His divine nature and purposes.
