And leave but the sixth part of thee<\/B><\/I>] The margin has, strike thee with six plagues<\/I>; or, draw thee back with a hook of<\/I> six teeth<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Turn thee back:<\/B> see Eze 38:4<\/span>; or else, when Gog or his assistants shall go into their countries to compose disorders risen since this enterprise was set on foot, they shall return to the rest of the confederates. <\/P> Leave but the sixth part of thee:<\/B> some read, as our margin notes, I will draw thee back with a hook of six teeth, alluding to the drawing fish out of the water; others, I will strike thee with six plagues; others, I will kill five of six, and leave but the sixth part of thee: let me conjecture too, I will leave in thy country but one in six, and I will bring forth thy people with thee in so great numbers, that five of six shall march on this expedition. This runs more compliant with what follows. <\/P> Will cause thee to come up; <\/B>by his all wise providence God will dispose things so, that Gog shall deliberately choose this expedition; so God will bring him, as Eze 38:4<\/span>. See Eze 38:4<\/span>,8<\/span>,15<\/span>,21<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n 2. leave but the sixth part ofthee<\/B>Margin,<\/I> “strike thee with six plagues”(namely, pestilence, blood, overflowing rain, hailstones, fire,brimstone, Eze 38:22<\/span>); or,”draw thee back with an hook of six teeth” (Eze38:4<\/span>), the six teeth being those six plagues. Rather, “leadthee about” [LUDOVICUSDE DIEUand Septuagint<\/I>].

Not from the land of Israel; for thither it is said in the latter part of the text he would bring him; but the meaning is, that he would “turn him about”, as the word w signifies, in his own land, and lead him about at his pleasure, and bring him out of it, unto the land of Israel; signifying hereby that the providence of God would be greatly concerned in this affair; and in which much glory would be brought unto him by the destruction of such a potent enemy of his people; which is the design of bringing him out;<\/p>\n [See comments on Eze 38:4]<\/span>:<\/p>\n and leave but a sixth part of thee<\/strong>; meaning, not that a sixth part only should escape the vengeance of God, and all but a sixth part be destroyed in the land of Israel; for it looks as if the whole army would be utterly destroyed, and none left; but that, when he should come out of his own country upon this expedition, a sixth part of his subjects only should be left behind; five out of six should accompany him; so numerous should his army be, and so drained his country by this enterprise of his. Some render the words, “will draw thee out with an hook of six teeth” x; that is, out of his own land; and this clause stands in the same place and order as the phrase and “put hooks into thy jaws” does in Eze 38:4<\/span> and so may be thought to explain one another, and agrees with what follows: for, as for the sense of it given by Joseph Kimchi and others,<\/p>\n “I will judge thee with six judgments y, Eze 38:12<\/span>, pestilence, blood, an overflowing rain, hailstones, fire, and brimstone,”<\/p>\n it must be rejected; seeing as yet the account of his punishment is not come to; only an account is given how and by what means he shall be drawn out of his own land; wherefore much better is the Targum,<\/p>\n “I will persuade thee, and I will seduce thee;”<\/p>\n so Jarchi seems to understand it: and the Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, “I will lead thee”, agreeably to what follows:<\/p>\n and will cause thee to come up from the north parts<\/strong>;<\/p>\n [See comments on Eze 38:15]<\/span><\/p>\n and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel<\/strong>; not to inherit them, but to fall upon them, as in Eze 39:4<\/span>.<\/p>\n w “circumducam te”, Piscator; “circumagam”, Grotius. x “harpagone sextuplici extraham te”, Vinarienses apud Starckius. So Buxtorf. y “Sex poenis, [sive] plagis afficiam te”, Munster, Tigurine version.<\/p>\n (2) Leave but the sixth part of thee<\/strong>.This word occurs only here, and the translation is based on the supposition that it is derived from the word meaning six;<\/em> but even on this supposition the renderings in the margin are as likely to be right as that of the text. This derivation, however, is probably wrong; all the ancient versions give a sense corresponding to Eze. 38:4<\/span>; Eze. 38:16<\/span>, and also to the clauses immediately before and after, I will lead thee along. The greater part of the modern commentators concur in this view.<\/p>\n Eze 39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:<\/p>\n Ver. 2. And I will turn thee back.<\/strong> ] Convertam vel conteram te.<\/em> a<\/em> See Eze 38:3<\/span> . <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And leave but the sixth part of thee.<\/strong> ] Or, Strike thee with six plagues, or draw thee back with a hook of six teeth. as <\/em> Eze 38:4 Sextabo re.<\/em> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And will cause thee to come.<\/strong> ] This is much and often inculcated, that it is God who brings in and drives out the Church’s enemies.

The others will be smitten in their own lands. <\/p>\n I will: It is probable that none of the invaders will escape, but perhaps the inhabitants of Magog in general are meant. The immense army of Gog, led forth against Israel, will almost empty his land; and the subsequent judgments of God upon those that remain at home, will reduce them to a sixth of the whole. Psa 40:14, Psa 68:2, Isa 37:29 <\/p>\n leave but the sixth part of thee: or, strike thee with six plagues; or, draw thee back with a hook of six teeth, as Eze 38:4. and will cause.

But it is clear the prediction means that the army of Gog will be almost totally destroyed.
