Ezekiel 39:16

name of the city … Hamonah Or, a city. Hamonah is fem. of Hamon, multitude, and presumably of the same meaning. The words, however, are enigmatical and alien to the connexion. The last clause, "and they shall cleanse the land," suggests the previous mention of some action which has this result. The Versions, however, are in agreement with Heb. text. If the text be correct, the prophet's meaning is that a city shall also be built in commemoration of Gog's overthrow; naturally this city must be supposed situated near the valley of Hamon-Gog, because its name Hamonah (multitude), if the city were situated elsewhere, would not of itself suggest any connexion with Gog.

Ezekiel 39:17 seq. The great sacrificial feast provided by Jehovah for the fowls of heaven and the beasts of the field. They shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of princes of the earth (17 20). And thus shall that which Jehovah is be made known both to Israel and the heathen; and the nations shall understand, from Jehovah's defence of his godly people now, why it was that aforetime he inflicted such evils upon them and cast them out of his land (21 24).
