¹⁴ At the end of the seven months of burial, men will be designated to patrol the land and bury any of the bodies that remain on the ground and the bodies of any others who may die while traveling across Israel. This is how they will keep the land clean. ¹⁵ As they search through the land, anyone who happens upon even one bone will set up a marker beside it, and it will remain untouched until the buriers find it and lay it to rest in the valley of Hamon-gog. ¹⁶ (There will be a town called Hamonah there.) This is how the Israelites will purify the land from death’s defilement.
