Ezekiel 39:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 On that day I will give Gog a place for his tomb in Israel, the Valley of Abarim,[a] east of the sea. It will block the way of travelers. There Gog shall be buried with all his horde; it shall be called “Valley of Hamon-Gog.”(A) 12 For seven months the house of Israel shall bury them in order to cleanse the land. 13 All the people of the land shall take part in the burials, making a name for themselves on the day I am glorified—oracle of the Lord God.
