Hamon-gog

Hamon-gog (meaning the multitude of Gog) is the name given in Ezekiel's prophetic vision to the valley where the vast army of Gog would be buried after their catastrophic defeat at the hands of God's judgment upon the mountains of Israel (Ezek. 39:11, 15). The burying of the horde would take seven months and require a dedicated team of grave-diggers; travelers passing through the valley were instructed to mark any discovered bones for collection so the land would be cleansed of the defilement of the unburied dead.

The valley is also called the valley of the travelers, and it is described as blocking the way east of the sea—possibly a reference to the Dead Sea region. Hamon-gog functions in Ezekiel 38–39 as a powerful symbol of the completeness of God's victory over the enemies of his people in the eschatological age, with the scale of the burial emphasizing the magnitude of the force that God overthrows. The feast for birds and beasts following the slaughter (Ezek. 39:17–20) is echoed in Revelation 19:17–21.
