New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
14 They will set apart men to pass through the land regularly and bury any invaders[a] who remain on the face of the land, so as to cleanse it; for seven months they shall make their search. 15 As the searchers[b] pass through the land, anyone who sees a human bone shall set up a sign by it, until the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog.[c] 16 (A city Hamonah[d] is there also.) Thus they shall cleanse the land.
