Ezekiel 39:11-20
11“On that day I will give Gog a burial ground there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea, and it will block off those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with all his 1horde, and they will call it the valley of 2Hamon-gog. 12For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to 3cleanse the land. 13Even all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be 4to their 5renown on the day that I 6glorify Myself,” declares the Lord God. 14“They will set apart men who will constantly pass through the land, 7burying those who were passing through, even those left on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. 15As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a man’s bone, then he will 8set up a marker by it until the buriers have buried it in the valley of 9Hamon-gog. 16And even the name of the city will be Hamonah. So they will cleanse the land.”’
17“As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Speak to every 10kind of 11bird and to every 12beast of the field, “Assemble and come, gather from every side to My sacrifice which I am going to 13sacrifice for you, as a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood. 18You will 14eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as though they were 15rams, lambs, goats and 16bulls, all of them fatlings of 17Bashan. 19So you will eat fat until you are glutted, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20You will be glutted at My table with 18horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all the men of war,” declares the Lord God.
