Ezekiel 39:14-16
New English Translation
14 They will designate men to scout continually[a] through the land, burying those who remain on the surface of the ground,[b] in order to cleanse it. They will search for seven full months. 15 When the scouts survey[c] the land and see a human bone, they will place a sign by it, until those assigned to burial duty have buried it[d] in the valley of Hamon Gog. 16 (A city by the name of Hamonah[e] will also be there.) They will cleanse the land.’

- Ezekiel 39:14 tn Heb “men of perpetuity.”
- Ezekiel 39:14 tn Heb “and bury the travelers and those who remain on the surface of the ground.” The reference to “travelers” seems odd and is omitted in the LXX. It is probably an accidental duplication (see v. 11).
- Ezekiel 39:15 tn Heb “as the scouts scout.”
- Ezekiel 39:15 tn That is, the aforementioned bone.
- Ezekiel 39:16 tn This name appears to be a feminine form of the word “horde,” used in the name Hamon Gog.
