My holy name will be known in the midst of my people Israel; my holy name will no<br />

longer be profaned. The nations will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.<br />

8<br />

Behold, it has arrived, and you will know that it will be," says the Lord, the Lord. "This<br />

is the day concerning which I spoke.<br />

9<br />

Those who inhabit the cities of Israel will come out and make a fire with the<br />

weapons, shields, spears, bows, arrows, hand staffs, and lances; they will make a fire<br />

with them for seven years. 10 They will not take wood out of the plain, nor will they cut<br />

down out of the forests, but they will burn the weapons with fire. They will plunder<br />

those who plundered them and spoil those who spoiled them," says the Lord.<br />

11<br />

"It will be on that day that I will give to Gog a place of renown, a tomb in Israel,<br />

the mausoleum of those who advance to the sea. They will build around the rim of the<br />

valley, and there they will bury Gog and all his multitude; it will be called Gai, A the<br />

mausoleum of Gog. 12 The house of Israel will bury them so that the land may be<br />

cleansed in a seven month period. 13 All the people of the land will bury them; it will be<br />

for them a place of renown on the day it was glorified," says the Lord. 14 "They will<br />

continually set apart men who go over the land to entomb those who have been left on<br />

the surface of the land, to cleanse it after the seven month period, and they will search.<br />

15<br />

Everyone who goes through the land and sees a man's bone will build a sign beside it,<br />

until whenever the entombers entomb it in Gai, the mausoleum of Gog. 16 For the name<br />

of the city will be Mausoleum, and the land will be cleansed."´<br />

17<br />

You, son of man, say, `Thus says the Lord: "Say to every winged bird and to all<br />

the beasts of the plain, `Gather and come; gather from all the surrounding places at<br />

my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of<br />

Israel; you will eat meat and drink blood. 18 You will eat the meat of giants, and you will<br />

drink the blood of rulers of the earth, rams, calves, and goats; they are all fattened<br />

calves. 19 You will eat fat to satisfaction, and you will drink wine to intoxication due to<br />

my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 You will be filled at my table with horse<br />

and rider, giant and every man who is a warrior,´" says the Lord.<br />

21<br />

"I will give my glory among you; all the nations will see my justice which I<br />

performed and my hand which I brought over them. 22 The house of Israel will know<br />

that I am the Lord their God from this day and onwards. 23 All the nations will know that<br />

the house of Israel was taken captive because of their sins, since they rebelled against<br />

me, and I turned my face away from them and delivered them up into the hands of<br />

their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 I did to them according to their unclean<br />

acts and according to their lawless acts, and I turned my face away from them."<br />

25<br />

Because of this, thus says the Lord, the Lord: "Now I will turn back the captivity of<br />

Jacob; I will have mercy on the house of Israel and will be zealous on account of my<br />

holy name. 26 They will receive their dishonor and the wrongdoing which they committed<br />

when they resided on their land in peace, yet there will be no one who would terrify.<br />

27<br />

When I turn them back from the nations and I gather them out of the countries of the<br />

nations, I will be sanctified among them in the sight of the nations. 28 They will know<br />
