Context of Ezekiel 38:5
3and say, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘Behold, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. 4I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws. I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen—all of them splendidly dressed—a vast assembly with breastplate and shield, all of them wielding swords. With them will be Persia, Cush and Put, all of them with shield and helmet, 6Gomer and all his troops, the house of Togarmah from the extreme north and all his troops—many peoples with you. 7“‘Be prepared, prepare yourself, you and all your company gathered around you. Be a guard for them.
