Ezekiel 39:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 “ʻ“And the inhabitants of the towns[a] of Israel will go out, and they will set ablaze, and they will kindle a fire with a weapon[b] and a small shield and a shield,[c] with a bow and with arrows, and with hand clubs[d] and with spears,[e] and so they will light a fire with them, a fire lasting seven years.[f] 10 And they will not carry trees from the field, and they will not chop wood from the forests, for with the weapons[g] they will light a fire; and they will plunder those plundering them, and they will plunder those plundering them,”’ declares[h] the Lord Yahweh.
11 “‘“And then[i] on that day I will give to Gog a grave there[j] in Israel, The Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea,[k] and it will block[l] the travelers and Gog and all of his hordes[m] they will bury there, and they will call it the Valley of Hamon-Gog.[n]
