39:9 And they that dwell
in the cities of Israel
[1] shall go forth, and
[2] shall set on fire and
[3] [shall] burn the weapons,
both
[a.] the
shields and
[b.] the
bucklers,
[c.] the bows
and
[d.] the
arrows, and
[e.] the
handstaves, and
[f.] the
spears, and
[4] they shall burn them with
fire seven years:
39:10 [a.] So
that they shall
[11.] take no wood out of the field,
[12.] neither cut down [any] out of the forests; for
[5] they shall burn the
weapons with fire: and
[6] they shall spoil those
that spoiled them, and
[6] [they shall] rob those that
robbed them,
[a.] saith the Lord GOD.
The
armies of
Gog
shall fall and be buried on the mountains of Israel
39:11 And it shall come to
pass in that day, [that]
[1] I will give unto Gog
[a.]
a place there of graves in Israel,
[11.] the valley of the passengers
[12.] on the east of the sea
[***Gog shall fall upon the mountains of Israel (Ezek 39:4 ), upon an open field (Ezek. 39:5), in the valley of the passengers (vs. 11), on the east of the sea (most likely east of the Sea of Galilee in the Golan Heights—territory captured from Syria (vs. 11)—further evidence of which is that Gog and his confederacy of nations come from the north (Ezek. 38:6, Ezek. 38:15; Ezek. 39:2); see also Isaiah. 17:1 and Ezek. 38:4]:
and
[13.] it shall stop the [noses] of the passengers [passengers on
the land-bridge through the Golan Heights, which connects Europe and Asia with
Africa]: and
[14.] there shall they bury Gog
[aa.]
and all his multitude: and
[15.] they shall call [it]
[b.]
The valley of
Hamongog [lit., the multitude of God].
39:12 And
[2] seven months shall the house
of Israel
[a.]
be burying of them,
[11.] that they may cleanse the land.
39:13 [3] Yea, all the people of the land shall bury [them]; and
[4] it shall be to them a renown
[a.] the day [this destruction comes in one day]
[11.] that I shall be glorified,
[12.] saith the Lord GOD.
39:14 And
[5] they shall sever out
[a.]
men of continual employment,
[11.] passing through the land
[aa.] to bury with the passengers
[111.]
those that remain upon the face of the earth,
[ab.] to cleanse it:
[111.] after the end of seven months shall they search.
39:15 And
[6] the passengers [that] pass
through the land,
[a.] when [any]
seeth a man's bone,
[7] then shall he set up a sign
by it,
[a.] till the
buriers have buried it
[11.] in the valley of Hamongog.
39:16 [8] And also the name of the city
[a.]
[shall be] Hamonah [lit., to the
multitude].
[9] Thus shall they cleanse the
land.
