Exegesis
Purpose is marked by lemaʿan {לְמַעַן | lə-maʿan} ‘in order that’, followed by a sequence of outcomes: yedau {יֵדְעוּ | yēdəʿū} ‘they may know’ (all the peoples), then two coordinated infinitival goals—u-le-yirah {וּלְיִרְאָה | ū-lə-yirʾāh} ‘and to fear’ and ve-la-daat {וְלָדַעַת | və-lā-daʿaṯ} ‘and to know’—which together express both reverent allegiance and informed recognition.
In context — 2 Chronicles 6:33
And You will hear from the heavens, from the established place of Your dwelling, and You will act according to everything that the foreigner calls to You, so that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You as Your people Israel do, and so that they may know that Your name is called over this house which I have built.
