Ezekiel 39:13-15
New English Translation
13 All the people of the land will bury them, and it will be a memorial[a] for them on the day I magnify myself, declares the Sovereign Lord. 14 They will designate men to scout continually[b] through the land, burying those who remain on the surface of the ground,[c] in order to cleanse it. They will search for seven full months. 15 When the scouts survey[d] the land and see a human bone, they will place a sign by it, until those assigned to burial duty have buried it[e] in the valley of Hamon Gog.

- Ezekiel 39:14 tn Heb “men of perpetuity.”
- Ezekiel 39:14 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).
