“Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will (A)go out and make (B)fires with the weapons and burn them, both [a]bucklers and shields, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them. 10 They will not take wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; and they will take the spoils of those who plundered them and seize the (C)plunder of those who plundered them,” declares the Lord God.

11 “On that day I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea, and it will block the way of those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with all his horde, and they will call it the Valley of [b]Hamon-gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to (D)cleanse the land. 13 And all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be [c]to their (E)renown on the day that I (F)appear in My glory,” declares the Lord God. 14 “They will also select men who will constantly pass through the land, (G)burying those who were passing through, those left on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will conduct a search. 15 As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a human bone, then he will [d]set up a marker by it until the burial detail has buried it in the Valley of [e]Hamon-gog. 16 And even the name of the city will be Hamonah. So they will cleanse the land.”’

“Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the [a]javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years. 10 They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; (A)and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the Lord God.

The Burial of Gog

11 “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of [b]Hamon Gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, (B)in order to cleanse the land. 13 Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain (C)renown for it on the day that (D)I am glorified,” says the Lord God. 14 “They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of [c]a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order (E)to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. 15 The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall [d]set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog. 16 The name of the city will also be [e]Hamonah. Thus they shall (F)cleanse the land.” ’
