Yehezkiel 39:11-14

39:11 “‘On that day I will assign Gog a grave in Israel. It will be the valley of those who travel east of the sea; it will block the way of the travelers. There they will bury Gog and all his horde; they will call it the valley of Hamon-Gog. ¹  39:12 For seven months Israel ²  will bury them, in order to cleanse the land. 39:13 All the people of the land will bury them, and it will be a memorial ³  for them on the day I magnify myself, declares the sovereign Lord. 39:14 They will designate men to scout continually ⁴  through the land, burying those who remain on the surface of the ground, ⁵  in order to cleanse it. They will search for seven full months.

[39:11]  ¹ tn The name means “horde of Gog.”

[39:12]  ² tn Heb “the house of Israel.”

[39:13]  ³ tn Heb “name.”

[39:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “men of perpetuity.”

[39:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “and bury the travelers and those who remain on the surface of the ground.” The reference to “travelers” seems odd and is omitted in the LXX. It is probably an accidental duplication (see v. 11).
