¹⁶ Whoever in the open field touches one who has been killed by a sword or who has died naturally,^[a] or a human bone, or a grave shall be unclean seven days.^(A)

²⁷ “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which on the outside look beautiful but inside are full of the bones of the dead and of all kinds of uncleanness.

¹⁹ Camp outside the camp seven days, whoever of you has killed any person or touched a corpse; purify yourselves, you and your captives, on the third and on the seventh day.

⁴⁴ Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves on which people unknowingly walk.”^(A)

¹¹ Those who touch the dead body of any human being shall be unclean seven days.^(A)

The Burial of Gog

¹¹ On that day I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers^[a] east of the sea; it shall block the path of the travelers, for there Gog and all his horde will be buried; it shall be called the Valley of Hamon-gog.^{[b](A) 12} Seven months the house of Israel shall spend burying them, in order to cleanse the land. ¹³ All the people of the land shall bury them, and it will bring them honor on the day that I show my glory, says the Lord God.^{(B) 14} They will set apart men to pass through the land regularly and bury any invaders^[c] who remain on the face of the land, so as to cleanse it; for seven months they shall make their search.^{(C) 15} As the searchers^[d] pass through the land, anyone who sees a human bone shall set up a sign by it until the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog.^{[e] 16} (A city Hamonah^[f] is there also.) Thus they shall cleanse the land.
