Ezekiel 39

The Disposal of Gog

1“As for you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of # 39:1 Or Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. # 39:1 Ezk 38:2–3 2I will turn you around, drive you on, # 39:2 Ezk 38:4 and lead you up from the remotest parts of the north. I will bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3Then I will knock your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. 4You, all your troops, and the peoples who are with you will fall on the mountains of Israel. I will give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and to the wild animals. 5You will fall on the open field, # 39:5 Ezk 32:4 for I have spoken. This is the declaration of the Lord God.

6“ ‘I will send fire against Magog # 39:6 Am 1:4,7,10 and those who live securely on the coasts and islands. Then they will know that I am the Lord. 7So I will make my holy name known among my people Israel and will no longer allow it to be profaned. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. # 39:7 Ezk 36:20–23 8Yes, it is coming, and it will happen. This is the declaration of the Lord God. This is the day I have spoken about.

9“ ‘Then the inhabitants of Israel’s cities will go out, kindle fires, and burn the weapons — the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them to make fires. 10They will not gather wood from the countryside or cut it down from the forests, for they will use the weapons to make fires. They will take the loot from those who looted them and plunder those who plundered them. # 39:10 Is 14:2; 33:1 This is the declaration of the Lord God.

11“ ‘Now on that day I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel — the Travelers’ Valley # 39:11 Hb obscure east of the Sea. It will block those who travel through, for Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called Hordes of Gog # 39:11 = Hamon-gog, also in v. 15 Valley. 12The house of Israel will spend seven months burying them in order to cleanse the land. # 39:12 Dt 21:23 13All the people of the land will bury them and their fame will spread # 39:13 Jr 33:9; Zph 3:19–20 on the day I display my glory. # 39:13 Ezk 28:22 This is the declaration of the Lord God.

14“ ‘They will appoint men on a full-time basis to pass through the land and bury the invaders # 39:14 Or basis, some to pass through the land, and with them some to bury those who remain on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. They will make their search at the end of the seven months. 15When they pass through the land and one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker next to it until the buriers have buried it in Hordes of Gog Valley. 16There will even be a city named Hamonah # 39:16 In Hb, Hamonah is related to the word “horde.” there. So they will cleanse the land.’

17“Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: Tell every kind of bird and all the wild animals, ‘Assemble and come! Gather from all around to my sacrificial feast that I am slaughtering for you, a great feast on the mountains of Israel; # 39:17 Rv 19:17–18 you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the earth’s princes: rams, lambs, male goats, and all the fattened bulls of Bashan. 19You will eat fat until you are satisfied # 39:19 Rv 19:21 and drink blood until you are drunk, at my sacrificial feast that I have prepared for you. 20At my table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and all the warriors. This is the declaration of the Lord God.’

Israel’s Restoration to God

21“I will display my glory among the nations, # 39:21 Ezk 36:23; 38:16,23 and all the nations will see the judgment I have executed and the hand I have laid on them. 22From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. 23And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile on account of their iniquity, because they dealt unfaithfully with me. # 39:23 Ezk 36:18–20,23 Therefore, I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword. 24I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and transgressions, and I hid my face from them.

25“So this is what the Lord God says: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob # 39:25 Is 27:12–13; Jr 33:7; Ezk 34:13 and have compassion on the whole house of Israel, # 39:25 Ezk 36:10; 37:21–22; Hs 1:11 and I will be jealous for my holy name. 26They will feel remorse for # 39:26 Some emend to will forget,# 39:26 Lit will bear their disgrace # 39:26 Ezk 16:53–54,63 and all the unfaithfulness they committed against me, when they live securely in their land with no one to frighten them. 27When I bring them back from the peoples and gather them from the countries of their enemies, I will demonstrate my holiness through them in the sight of many nations. # 39:27 Ezk 20:41; 38:23 28They will know that I am the Lord their God when I regather them to their own land after having exiled them among the nations. I will leave none of them behind. # 39:28 Lit behind there any longer 29I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel.” # 39:29 Ezk 36:27; 37:14; Jl 2:28 This is the declaration of the Lord God.

Yechezkel 39

1Therefore, thou Ben Adam, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Hineni, I am against thee, O Gog, nasi rosh Meshech and Tuval; 2And I will turn thee around, and drive thee on, and will cause thee to come up from the far north, and will bring thee upon the harim of Yisroel; 3And I will knock thy keshet out of thy left hand, and will cause thine khitzim to fall out of thy right hand. 4Thou shalt fall upon the harim of Yisroel, thou, and all thy troops, and the peoples with thee; I will give thee unto the birds of prey of every sort, and to the beasts of the sadeh to be devoured. 5Thou shalt fall upon the open sadeh; for I have spoken it, saith Adonoi Hashem. 6And I will send an eish on Magog, and among them that dwell complacently secure in the coastlands; and they shall know that I am Hashem.

7So will I make Shem Kodshi (Name of My Holiness, Holy Name) known in the midst of My people Yisroel; and I will not let them profane Shem Kodshi (Name of My Holiness, Holy Name) any more: and the Goyim shall know that I am Hashem Kadosh b'Yisroel. 8Hinei, it is coming, and it shall be done, saith Adonoi Hashem; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

9And they that dwell in the towns of Yisroel shall go forth, and shall use for fuel and set on fire the weapons, both the mogen and the bucklers, the keshet and the khitzim, and the clubs, and the spears, and they shall burn them with eish sheva shanim; 10So that they shall take no wood [for fuel] out of the sadeh, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with eish; and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and pillage those that looted them, saith Adonoi Hashem.

11And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a makom kever (burial place) there in Yisroel — the valley of those who pass by, east of the yam; and it shall block the path of the passersby; and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it Gey Hamon Gog. 12And seven months shall Bais Yisroel be burying them, that they may make ha'aretz tahor. 13Indeed, kol Am Ha'Aretz shall bury them; and it shall give them renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith Adonoi Hashem. 14And they shall set apart anshei tamid (a regular detail of men) to work at passing through ha'aretz to bury those passing through, those bodies remaining upon the face of ha'aretz, to make it tahor; for the whole of seven months shall they make the search. 15And the ones passing through ha'aretz, when any seeth an etzem adam (human bone), then shall he build a tziyun (marker) beside it, until the mekabberim (buriers) have buried it in the Gey Hamon Gog. 16And also the shem of the Ir shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they make ha'aretz tahor.

17And, thou ben adam, thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the sadeh, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to My zevach (sacrificial feast) that I do sacrifice for you, even a Zevach Gadol upon the harim of Yisroel, that ye may eat basar, and drink dahm. 18Ye shall eat the basar gibborim, and drink the dahm of the nasi'im of ha'aretz, as of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19And ye shall eat chelev until ye be glutted, and drink dahm until ye be shikkaron, from My Zevach which I have sacrificed for you. 20Thus ye shall be filled at My shulchan with susim and riders, with gibbor, and with all ish hamilchamah, saith Adonoi Hashem.

21And I will set My Kavod among the Goyim, and kol HaGoyim shall see My mishpat that I have executed, and My yad that I have laid upon them. 22So Bais Yisroel shall know that I am Hashem Eloheihem from that day and forward. 23And the Goyim shall know that Bais Yisroel went into the Golus for their avon; because they were unfaithful to Me; therefore hid I My face from them, and gave them into the yad of their enemies; so fell they all by the cherev. 24According to their tumah and according to their peysha'im have I dealt with them, and hid My face from them.

25Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Now will I bring back the captives of Ya'akov, and have compassion upon kol Bais Yisroel, and will be jealous for Shem Kodshi (Name of My Holiness, Holy Name); 26After that they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness whereby they have been unfaithful against Me, when they dwelt securely in their adamah, and none made them afraid. 27When I have brought them back from the nations, and regathered them out of the lands of their oyevim, and am set apart as kodesh through them in the sight of Goyim rabbim; 28Then shall they know that I am Hashem Eloheihem, Who caused them to be led into the Golus among the Goyim; but I have regathered them unto their own adamah (land), and have left none of them behind any more in the Golus. 29Neither will I hide My face any more from them; for I have poured out My Ruach upon Bais Yisroel, saith Adonoi Hashem.
