Ezekiel 39:11-20

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 1Hamon-gog. 12For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to 2cleanse the land. 13And all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be 3to their 4renown on the day that I 5appear in My glory,” declares the Lord God. 14“They will also select men who will constantly pass through the land, 6burying 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. 15As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a human bone, then he will 7set up a marker by it until the burial detail has buried it in the Valley of 8Hamon-gog. 16And even the name of the city will be Hamonah. So they will cleanse the land.”’

17“Now as for you, son of man, this is what the Lord God says: ‘Say to every 9kind of 10bird and to every 11animal of the field: “Assemble and come, gather from every direction to My sacrifice, which I am going to 12sacrifice for you as a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel; and you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18You will 13eat the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the leaders of the earth, as though they were 14rams, lambs, goats, and 15bulls, all of them fattened livestock of 16Bashan. 19So you will eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20You will eat your fill at My table with 17horses and charioteers, with warriors and all the men of war,” declares the Lord God.
