Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Ezekiel 39:13

All the people of the land. — “It would be but a very moderate allowance, on the literal supposition, to say that a million of men would be thus engaged, and that on an average each would consign to the tomb two corpses in one day; which, for the 180 working days of the seven months, would make an aggregate of 360,000,000 of corpses!” (Fairbairn.)
