Contextual Overview

⁸ Behold! It has come, and it has happened, declares the Lord Jehovah. That is the day of which I have spoken. ⁹ And those living in the cities of Israel shall go out and shall set afire and burn the weapons, even the shield and the buckler, the bow and the arrows, and the hand staff, and the spears. And they shall burn them with fire seven years. ¹⁰ And they shall not take wood out of the field and shall not cut down out of the forest. For they shall burn the weapons with fire. And they shall plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them, declares the Lord Jehovah. ¹¹ And it will be on that day, I will give to Gog a place there, a grave in Israel, the valley of those who pass by, east of the sea. And it shall stop those who pass by. And they shall bury Gog and all his multitude there, and they shallcall it The Valley of the Multitude of Gog. ¹² And the house of Israel shall bury them, in order to cleanse the land, seven months. ¹³ And the people of the land shall bury. And it shall be for a name to them, the day when I am glorified, declares the Lord Jehovah. ¹⁴ And they shall separate men who continually pass through the land, burying those who passed through, who remain on the face of the earth, to cleanse it. At the end of seven months, they shall make a search. ¹⁵ And as they pass, those who pass through the land, and any sees a bone of a man, then he shall build a post beside it until the ones burying have buried it in The Valley of the Multitude of Gog. ¹⁶ And also the name of the city is The Multitude. And they shall cleanse the land. ¹⁷ And you, son of man, So says the Lord Jehovah: Say to the bird of every wing, and to every beast of the field: Gather yourselves and come, collect yourselves from all around to My sacrifice which I sacrifice for you, a great sacrifice on themountains of Israel, so that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah,.... The name of the city nearest to this place, where Gog and his multitude shall be buried, shall be called Hamonah from thence, which signifies a multitude; or Polyandrion, as the Septuagint version, a place where many graves are; or perhaps a new city will be built near this place, and so called, to perpetuate the memory of it; or else, as Kimchi observes, Jerusalem will be so called, from the multitude of those that will be slain near it; but, however, neither that nor any other city in the land of Israel have ever bore any such name; from whence it may be concluded that this prophecy does not refer to the times of Antiochus, or any yet past, but to time to come:

thus shall they cleanse the land; thoroughly and completely, so that not a bone shall be left unburied.
