Exegesis
The predicate dan {דָּ֣ן | dān} ‘(one) judging / will judge’ is followed by the explicit subject anokhi {אָנֹ֑כִי | ʾānōkhi} ‘I’, a participle-plus-pronoun pattern that heightens emphasis on the Speaker’s personal action: He Himself will render judgment.
Root and etymology
דיןdalet–yod–nun

In context — Genesis 15:14
And also the nation that they will serve, I will judge, and after that they will go out with great property .
