Ezekiel 39:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:13

Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them
That is, a great number of the common people of the land of Israel, especially of those that dwell near the field of battle, shall be employed in burying the slain; and which they will be very ready to do, for the reasons above mentioned: and it shall be to them a renown;
or, "for a name" ^F7; they shall be commended for their humanity to their enemies, and shall be spoken of with honour, as being the peculiar people of God, whom he has so remarkably appeared for, protected, and defended: the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God;
the day that will be renown to them will be to the glory of God; whose greatness, goodness, power, and wisdom, will be seen in saving his people, and destroying their enemies.

(And it shall be on that day, I shall give to Gog a place for a tomb, or for a grave, there in Israel, yea, the Valley of the Waygoers to the east of the Dead Sea, that shall make them who pass forth to wonder; and they shall bury Gog, and all his multitude there, and it shall be called The Valley of Hamongog.)
