Ezekiel 39:11

Gog's burial place shall be east of the Dead Sea.

a place there of graves a place for a grave, lit. a place where a gravemay be. For "there" LXX. reads namea place of renown (name), a grave in Israel.

valley of the passengers In Ezekiel 39:14 the word is used of those appointed to go through the land in search of the scattered bones. The term cannot have that sense here. Ew. conjectured that it was a term applied to the hosts of Gog, the invaders, from their overflowing the country (Isaiah 8:8). The reading of Ezekiel 39:14, however, which would be the strongest support of this view, is doubtful. The expression is probably a proper name; the "valley of the passers through" may have been so named as the usual route of communication between the east and west of the sea. Others by altering the points read "the (or, a) valley of Abarim" (Hitz. Corn.).

shall stop thenoses] it shall stop them that pass through (or, the passengers). The valley shall be filled up with the graves of the innumerable hosts of Gog, so that the way of passers through shall be barred. A.V. has no probability. Neither LXX. nor Syr. read the words "those that pass through;" the former renders: and they shall build up the mouth of the valley round about.
