Ezekiel 39:10-28 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

10. And they will not carry trees from the field, and they will not chop wood from the forests, for with the weapons they will light a fire; and they will plunder those plundering them, and they will plunder those plundering them,” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.

11. “ ‘ “And then on that day I will give to Gog a grave there in Israel, The Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea, and it will block the travelers and Gog and all of his hordes they will bury there, and they will call it the Valley of Hamon-Gog.

12. And the house of Israel will bury them for seven months to cleanse the land.

13. All of the people of the land will bury them, and it will be an honor for them on the day when I appear,” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.

14. ʻ“And they will set apart men to continually go through the land burying the travelers, the ones left over on the surface of the land to cleanse it; for the whole of seven months they will explore it.

15. And the ones going through, they will go through within the land, and if anyone sees the bones of a person, then he will build beside it a sign to remain until the buriers have buried him in the Valley of Hamon-Gog.

16. And furthermore the name of the city there is Hamonah, and thus they will cleanse the land.” ’

17. “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Say to all kinds of birds and animals of the field, “Be gathered, come be gathered from everywhere to my sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, and you will eat flesh, and you will drink blood.

18. Flesh of warriors you will eat, and the blood of leaders of the land you will drink; rams, young rams and goats, bulls, and the fattened animals of Bashan—all of them!

19. And you will eat fat until you are satiated, and you will drink blood until you are drunk from my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you,

20. and you will be satisfied at my table with horse and horsemen and warriors and every man of war,” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.

21. “And I will display my glory among the nations, and all of the nations will see my judgment that I have executed and my hand that I have laid upon them.

22. “And the house of Israel will know that I am Yahweh their God from that day and beyond,

23. and the nations will know that because of their guilt the house of Israel went into exile, because they acted unfaithfully against me, and I hid my face from them, and I gave them into the hand of their foes, and they fell by the sword, all of them.

24. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgression I dealt with them, and I hid my face from them.

25. Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob, and I will have compassion on all of the house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name.

26. And they will forget their disgrace and all of their infidelity that they displayed against me when they dwelt on their soil in safety with nobody making them afraid.

27. When I restore them from the nations and I gather them from the countries of their enemies, then I will show myself holy through them before the eyes of many nations.

28. And they will know that I am Yahweh their God, because of when I deported them into the nations, and I reassembled them to their soil, and I will not let any of them remain there any longer.
