The "day" signifies a specific time of divine intervention. The burial place in Israel indicates the complete defeat and humiliation of Gog, as burial in enemy territory was considered a disgrace. This prophecy is part of a larger eschatological vision where God demonstrates His sovereignty and protection over Israel.the Valley of the Travelers The "Valley of the Travelers" is a location that would have been known to the original audience, possibly a trade route or a place frequented by nomads. The term "travelers" could also symbolize those who pass through life without acknowledging God, thus becoming a fitting burial site for Gog and his forces. This valley becomes a significant geographical marker in the prophecy, emphasizing the public nature of Gog's defeat.east of the Sea The "Sea" likely refers to the Dead Sea, known for its geographical and historical significance in the region. The location "east of the Sea" situates the event within a recognizable landscape for the Israelites, reinforcing the reality of the prophecy. This area was often associated with judgment and desolation, fitting for the burial of Gog's forces.It will block those who travel through The burial site will become a significant obstruction, symbolizing the magnitude of the defeat. This phrase suggests that the aftermath of the battle will be so extensive that it will disrupt normal travel and commerce. It serves as a perpetual reminder of God's judgment against those who oppose His people.because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there The complete burial of Gog and his hordes signifies total victory and eradication of the threat. This imagery is reminiscent of other biblical accounts where God delivers His people by utterly defeating their enemies. It underscores the theme of divine justice and the futility of opposing God's will.So it will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog "Hamon-gog" means "the multitude of Gog," highlighting the vast number of forces that will be defeated and buried. Naming the valley serves as a memorial to God's deliverance and a warning to future generations.

It simply denotes some (probably imaginary) thoroughfare, which is to be blocked up by the buried bodies of the slain. No definite locality is assigned to it, except that it is "on the east of the sea," meaning the Dead Sea. It was to be, therefore, on the extreme south-eastern outskirts of the land. This is another of the features of the description which indicate some other than a literal interpretation; for how should such a host, invading the land from the north for purposes of plunder, be found in that locality, and how could such vast numbers of dead bodies be transported thither?Stop the noses.--The word "noses" is not in the original, and should be omitted. The meaning is simply that the bodies of the host shall so fill up the valley as to stop the way of travellers.The valley of Hamon-gog.--It is better to translate the word Hamon, as in the margin: The valley of the multitude of Gog. So also in <a href="/ezekiel/39-15.htm" title="And the passengers that pass through the land, when any sees a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.">Ezekiel 39:15</a>.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/39.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 11-16 contain a second proof of the completeness of Gog's destruction, viz. the length of time occupied in burying the slain and cleansing the land. Verse 11. - Gog, who should invade Israel in the hope of acquiring the entire mastery of her land, would obtain at Jehovah's hands only a place there of graves, i.e. either, as Hitzig, Ewald, Keil, and Smend suggest, a place where a grave might be possible - a place large enough to receive his slaughtered carcasses; or as Havernick proposes, "an altogether special grave as no other in Israel;" or as Schroder interprets, "a place where there is a grave for him and nothing else." Concerning both the designation and the site of this divinely provided sepulcher controversy has arisen. (1) As to its site. The notion of Michaelis and Eiehhom, that the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea was in some way related to the mountains of Abarim mentioned in <a href="/numbers/27-12.htm">Numbers 27:12</a> and <a href="/deuteronomy/32-49.htm">Deuteronomy 32:49</a>, and that of Hitzig, that it signified "the valley of the opposite heights," as in <a href="/1_samuel/17-3.htm">1 Samuel 17:3</a>, and was to be sought for in the "very great valley" of <a href="/zechariah/14-4.htm">Zechariah 14:4</a>, may at once be dismissed - the former as untenable, and -the latter as far-fetched. The suggestion of Hengstenberg and Kliefoth, that by the burial-place of Gog was meant the valley of Megiddo, where Josiah fell in battle against Pharaoh-Necho (<a href="/2_kings/23-29.htm">2 Kings 23:29</a>), derives support from these considerations, that the very name of Megiddo points to battles, that in its vicinity are found such passes as are here described, and that its modern designation Lejun (Leqio), in all probability contains a reminiscence of the present passage. It is, however, open to the obvious objections that the place of Gog's burial was not contiguous to the field of his overthrow, and that the clause locating it "on the east of the sea," by which on this hypothesis must be understood the Mediterranean, is rather descriptive of the entire land than of any particular spot therein. Hence the view of Havernick, Ewald, Keil, and Smoud, which finds the valley in the neighborhood of the Dead Sea, is to be preferred, though, even with agreement as to this, interpreters are not unanimous as to the spot intended. Ewald thinks of "the horrible, unwholesome valley over against the sea, i.e. (comp. <a href="/ezekiel/47-8.htm">Ezekiel 47:8</a>) the Dead Sea, that valley which covers the ancient overbearing ones (die Zerreisenden), the Sodomites, who resemble these;" Keil, translating kidmath as "in front of," holds by "the valley of the Jordan above the Dead Sea;" Havernick and Smend advocate "a place outside the Holy Land," though the clause, "a grave in Israel," seems against this. Dr. Currey, in the 'Speaker's Commentary,' hints, net without reason, that the valley was "imaginary." (2) As to its designation. That in the word "passengers" lies a paronomasia is apparent; but whether threefold or only twofold is uncertain. In the present verse הָעֹבְרִים may signify either (1) such travelers as were wont to pass through the valley (Keil), which is the obvious and natural interpretation; or . . . <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And וְהָיָ֣ה (wə·hā·yāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be on that הַה֡וּא (ha·hū) Article | Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are day בַיּ֣וֹם (ḇay·yō·wm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day I will give אֶתֵּ֣ן (’et·tên) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set Gog לְגוֹג֩ ׀ (lə·ḡō·wḡ) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1463.htm">Strong's 1463: </a> Gog -- the name of an Israelite, also leader of a northern nation a burial קֶ֜בֶר (qe·ḇer) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6913.htm">Strong's 6913: </a> A grave, sepulcher place מְקֽוֹם־ (mə·qō·wm-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4725.htm">Strong's 4725: </a> A standing, a spot, a condition in Israel, בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל (bə·yiś·rā·’êl) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc the Valley גֵּ֤י (gê) Noun - common singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1516.htm">Strong's 1516: </a> A valley of the Travelers, הָעֹֽבְרִים֙ (hā·‘ō·ḇə·rîm) Article | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5674.htm">Strong's 5674: </a> To pass over, through, or by, pass on east קִדְמַ֣ת (qiḏ·maṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6926.htm">Strong's 6926: </a> The forward part, East of the Sea. הַיָּ֔ם (hay·yām) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3220.htm">Strong's 3220: </a> A sea, the Mediterranean Sea, large river, an artifical basin It הִ֖יא (hî) Pronoun - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are will block וְחֹסֶ֥מֶת (wə·ḥō·se·meṯ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Participle - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2629.htm">Strong's 2629: </a> To muzzle, to stop the nose those who travel through, הָעֹֽבְרִ֑ים (hā·‘ō·ḇə·rîm) Article | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5674.htm">Strong's 5674: </a> To pass over, through, or by, pass on because Gog גּוֹג֙ (gō·wḡ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1463.htm">Strong's 1463: </a> Gog -- the name of an Israelite, also leader of a northern nation and all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every his hordes הֲמוֹנֹ֔ה‪‬ (hă·mō·w·nōh) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1995.htm">Strong's 1995: </a> A noise, tumult, crowd, disquietude, wealth will be buried וְקָ֣בְרוּ (wə·qā·ḇə·rū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6912.htm">Strong's 6912: </a> To inter there. שָׁ֗ם (šām) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8033.htm">Strong's 8033: </a> There, then, thither So it will be called וְקָ֣רְא֔וּ (wə·qā·rə·’ū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7121.htm">Strong's 7121: </a> To call, proclaim, read the Valley of Hamon-gog. גּֽוֹג׃ (gō·wḡ) Noun - proper <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1996.htm">Strong's 1996: </a> Hamon-gog -- a valley in which Gog will be buried <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/39-11.htm">Ezekiel 39:11 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/39-11.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 39:11 It shall happen in that day that (Ezek.
