The Key Word — גֵּאֶ֣ה, ge.'Ehgenerated
The adjective גֵּאֶה (ge'eh) means 'proud' and conveys a sense of loftiness or arrogance. It is derived from a root that emphasizes being elevated, often in a negative sense, indicating a haughty attitude.
In this verse, it describes Moab's self-important demeanor, which is contrasted with the humility expected from the people of God. The usage emphasizes the danger of pride, as it can lead to downfall and judgment.
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. The BSB has proud, and so do the KJV, ASV, and YLT: all three convey the essence of גֵּאֶ֣ה.
Where others part company with the BSB they part company over a real fork in the lexicon, not over style. Haughtiness (ASV, KJV) emphasizes the negative aspect of pride, while proud (FBV, NETB) maintains a more neutral tone.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb שָׁמַ֥עְנוּ, we have heard, governs the entire sentence. It is followed by a noun phrase that identifies the subject of the hearing, גְאוֹן־ מוֹאָ֖ב, the pride of Moab, and several clauses that expand on the nature of that pride.
The structure emphasizes the report of Moab's pride and arrogance, with multiple phrases detailing its characteristics, creating a cumulative effect that underscores the severity of the judgment.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates גֵּאֶ֣ה with ὕβριν, which conveys a sense of insolence or overstepping bounds. This choice highlights the interpretation of Moab's pride as not just arrogance but as a transgression against divine order.
The Greek term suggests a broader understanding of the consequences of such pride, indicating that it leads to moral and spiritual downfall.

The prophet seems to find a pleasure in going back to the old words as showing that the fault of which he spoke was inveterate, and had shown itself incurable. It is, however, a free reproduction, and Jeremiah, instead of making the whole utterance that of the Jews, inserts the words, “I know his wrath, saith the Lord,” which come as an oracle from God, affirming the judgment of the people.

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.

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…
מוֹאָב (Moab) refers to both a person and a territory. It denotes Moab, the son of Lot by his eldest daughter, and the nation and land descended from him.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.
