⁹ “Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will ^(A)go out and make ^(B)fires with the weapons and burn them, both shields and large shields, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears; and for seven years they will make fires of them. ¹⁰ They will not carry wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests, for they will make fires with the weapons; and they will take the spoil of those who made them into spoil and seize the ^(C)plunder of those who plundered them,” declares Lord Yahweh.

¹¹ “And it will be in that day, that I will give Gog a burial ground there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea, and it will block off those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with all his multitude, and they will call it the valley of ^[a]Hamon-gog. ¹² And for seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to ^(D)cleanse the land. ¹³ Even all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be ^[b]unto their ^(E)name on the day that I ^(F)glorify Myself,” declares Lord Yahweh. ¹⁴ “Now they will set apart men who will continually pass through the land, ^(G)burying those who were passing through, even those left on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. ¹⁵ And those who pass through the land will pass through, and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he will ^[c]set up a marker by it until the buriers have buried it in the valley of ^[d]Hamon-gog. ¹⁶ And even the name of the city will be Hamonah. So they will cleanse the land.”’
