Ezekiel 39:14

12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, ^ain order to cleanse the land.

13 Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain ^arenown for it on the day that ^bI am glorified,” says the Lord God.

14 “They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of¹ a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order ^ato 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 shall¹ 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 be¹ Hamonah. Thus they shall ^acleanse the land.” ’

A Triumphant Festival

17 “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ^a‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:
^b“Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My ^csacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal ^don the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Ezekiel 39:13

Ezekiel 39:15 >>

They - The rulers of Israel. Sever - Chuse out men who shall make it their work. Passing - To go up and down over the whole land; for many of Gog's wounded, flying soldiers, died in thickets, and corners into which they crept. The passengers - Whose assistance they would desire of courtesy. Remain - Unburied by the public labour of the house of Israel during the seven months.
