‏ Ezekiel 39

CHAP. XXXIX.

1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: ^{▼▼ leave…: or, strike thee with six plagues: or, draw thee back with an hook of six teeth.
,} ^{▼▼ the north…: Heb. the sides of the north.} 3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. ^{▼▼ sort: Heb. wing.
,} ^{▼▼ to be…: Heb. to devour.} 5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Yhwh. ^{▼▼ the open…: Heb. the face of the field.} 6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am Yhwh. ^{▼▼ carelessly: or, confidently.} 7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am Yhwh, the Holy One in Israel.

8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord Yhwh; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: ^{▼▼ handstaves: or, javelins.
,} ^{▼▼ burn them…: or, make a fire of them.} 10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord Yhwh.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of them that pass through on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of them that pass through: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon–gog. ^{▼▼ noses: or, mouths.
,} ^{▼▼ Hamon–gog: that is, The multitude of Gog.} 12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord Yhwh. 14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with them passing by those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. ^{▼▼ men…: Heb. men of continuance.} 15 And they that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon–gog. ^{▼▼ set up: Heb. build.} 16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. ^{▼▼ Hamonah: that is, The multitude.}

17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. ^{▼▼ unto…: Heb. to the fowl of every wing.
,} ^{▼▼ my sacrifice: or, my slaughter.} 18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. ^{▼▼ goats: Heb. great goats.} 19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord Yhwh. 21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. 22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am Yhwh their God from that day and forward.

23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. 24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 25 Therefore thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; 26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. 27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; 28 Then shall they know that I am Yhwh their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. ^{▼▼ which…: Heb. by my causing of them, etc.} 29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord Yhwh.
