⁹ “ʻ“And the inhabitants of the towns^[a] of Israel will go out, and they will set ablaze, and they will kindle a fire with a weapon^[b] and a small shield and a shield,^[c] with a bow and with arrows, and with hand clubs^[d] and with spears,^[e] and so they will light a fire with them, a fire lasting seven years.^{[f] 10} And they will not carry trees from the field, and they will not chop wood from the forests, for with the weapons^[g] they will light a fire; and they will plunder those plundering them, and they will plunder those plundering them,”’ declares^[h] the Lord Yahweh.

¹¹ “‘“And then^[i] on that day I will give to Gog a grave there^[j] in Israel, The Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea,^[k] and it will block^[l] the travelers and Gog and all of his hordes^[m] they will bury there, and they will call it the Valley of Hamon-Gog.^{[n] 12} And the house of Israel will bury them for seven months to cleanse the land. ¹³ All of the people of the land will bury them, and it will be an honor for them on the day when I appear,”’ declares^[o] the Lord Yahweh. ¹⁴ ʻ“And they will set apart men to continually^[p] go through the land burying the travelers,^[q] the ones left over on the surface of the land to cleanse it; for the whole of^[r] seven months they will explore it. ¹⁵ And the ones going through, they will go through within the land, and if anyone sees the bones of a person, then he will build beside it a sign to remain until the buriers have buried him in the Valley of Hamon-Gog.^{[s] 16} And furthermore the name of the city there is Hamonah,^[t] and thus they will cleanse the land.”’
