"On that day I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea, and it will block the way of those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with all his horde, and they will call it the Valley of ^(F1)Hamon-gog.

"For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to ^(C1)cleanse the land.

"As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a human bone, then he will ^(F1)set up a marker by it until the burial detail has buried it in the Valley of ^(F2)Hamon-gog.

"And even the name of the city will be Hamonah. So they will cleanse the land."'
