Context of Ezekiel 39:10

8Realize that it is coming and it will be done, declares the sovereign Lord. It is the day I have spoken about. 9“‘Then those who live in the cities of Israel will go out and use the weapons for kindling – the shields, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears – they will burn them for seven years. They will not need to take wood from the field or cut down trees from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons. They will take the loot from those who looted them and seize the plunder of those who plundered them, declares the sovereign Lord. 11“‘On that day I will assign Gog a grave in Israel. It will be the valley of those who travel east of the sea; it will block the way of the travelers. There they will bury Gog and all his horde; they will call it the valley of Hamon-Gog. 12For seven months Israel will bury them, in order to cleanse the land.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 39:10

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9-10Israel would act only after Gog had been fully defeated and destroyed. Like some great battles in the past, the people would first watch the Lord fight for them. Then they would gather what was left behind (for example, 2 Kings 6:1–7:20; 2 Chronicles 20). Fire from heaven would destroy Gog’s army. Only their wooden weapons would remain. Israel would use these weapons as firewood for seven years. In the Old Testament, the number seven often represents…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 9-109-10. The burning of the foe's weapons implies that nothing belonging to them should be left to pollute the land.
