12. For seven months Israel will bury them, in order to cleanse the land.
13. All the people of the land will bury them, and it will be a memorial for them on the day I magnify myself, declares the sovereign Lord.
14. They will designate men to scout continually through the land, burying those who remain on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. They will search for seven full months.
15. When the scouts survey the land and see a human bone, they will place a sign by it, until those assigned to burial duty have buried it in the valley of Hamon-Gog.
16. (A city by the name of Hamonah will also be there.) They will cleanse the land.’
17. “As for you, son of man, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Tell every kind of bird and every wild beast: ‘Assemble and come! Gather from all around to my slaughter which I am going to make for you, a great slaughter on the mountains of Israel! You will eat flesh and drink blood.
18. You will eat the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the princes of the earth – the rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, all of them fattened animals of Bashan.
19. You will eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, at my slaughter which I have made for you.
20. You will fill up at my table with horses and charioteers, with warriors and all the soldiers,’ declares the sovereign Lord.
