God’s Word Translation
Ezekiel 39:11-20
11“ ‘When that day comes, I will give Gog a burial place in Israel. It will be in Travelers Valley, east of the Dead Sea. It will block those who travel ⌞through the valley⌟. Gog and his whole army will be buried there. So it will be called the valley of Gog’s troops.
12The people of Israel will be burying them there for seven months to make the land clean.
13All the common people will be burying them. The people of Israel will be honored on the day of my victory, declares the Almighty Lord.
14“ ‘People will be chosen to go through the land and make it clean. With the help of others they will bury the dead soldiers that are still on the ground. At the end of seven months they will begin their search.
15Whenever they go through the land and see a human bone, they will set up a marker beside it until the grave diggers have buried that bone in the valley of Gog’s troops.
16(A city named Hamonah will also be there.) In this way they will cleanse the land.’
17“Son of man, this is what the Almighty Lord says: Tell every kind of bird and every wild animal, ‘Assemble, and come together from all around for the sacrifice that I’m preparing for you. It will be a huge feast on the mountains of Israel. You can eat meat and drink blood there.
18You can eat the meat of warriors and drink the blood of the princes of the earth. All of them will be killed like rams, lambs, goats, bulls and all the best animals of Bashan.
19You can eat the best meat until you are full and drink blood until you are drunk at the sacrifice that I am preparing for you.
20At my table you will be filled with horses and riders, warriors, and soldiers of every kind, declares the Almighty Lord.’
