When the remains that are visible shall all have been buried, men shall be appointed whose continual task it shall be to go through the land to search for any bones that may have been overlooked.

Read: to bury those that remain<\/strong>, &c. After seven months have been consumed in burying the masses of the dead everywhere visible, occasional bodies or bones may still be left, having escaped notice. These shall be diligently searched for by the “continual men.” Those who would retain the words “them that pass through” (passengers of A.V.) here read, to bury them that pass through<\/em> (i.e. the invaders), even those that remain<\/em> (cf. R.V.). The construction is unnatural, and any play of words between two classes of “passers through,” viz. invaders and searchers, has no probability. In Eze 39:15<\/em><\/span> “those that pass through,” i.e. the searchers, are distinguished from the buriers, and a reader finding “buriers” in the present verse assumed that they were different from the searchers, and added “with those that pass through” (the searchers) on the margin.<\/p>\n Men of continual employment – <\/B>literally, as margin, i. e., men regularly appointed to this business. As the land of Israel represents figuratively the Church of Christ, the purification of that land is a proper part of the figure to indicate such a sanctification and cleansing of His Church, as Paul describes Eph 5:26-27<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n They, <\/B>the rulers in Israel, <\/P> shall sever out, <\/B>choose out men who shall make it their work. <\/P> Passing through; <\/B>to go up and down over the whole land, for many of Gogs wounded, flying soldiers died in thickets, and by corners into which they crept, when they could go no further. <\/P> With the passengers; <\/B>whose assistance they would desire of courtesy, or command by order, and that with reason, all this care and labour for burying the dead tending to their good, that they might unoffended travel whither they were going. <\/P> That remain<\/B> unburied by the public labour of the house of Israel during the seven months. <\/P> To cleanse it:<\/B> a legal cleansing, if-referred to Antiochus Epiphaness times, but not so with those that refer it to a season not yet come, for all legal ceremonies are ended: when Gogs army shall be destroyed and buried, the land shall be cleansed from the stench and noisomeness of these carcasses. These officers begin their work after the first seven months are expired, for during the seven months there would be work for all of them to bury the dead and slain of Gogs army. <\/P> <\/p>\n 14. with the passengers<\/B>Themen employed continually in the burying were to be helped by thosehappening to pass by; all were to combine. <\/P> after the end of seven monthsshall they search<\/B>to see if the work was complete [MUNSTER].<\/P><\/p>\n And they shall sever out men of continual employment<\/strong>,….

It implies that this occupation is to be one of long continuance, and the fact that they are to search the land through for the remains shows that the army of Gog is not conceived of as perishing when collected in one place, but when distributed all over the land. This search is only to begin after the close of the burying for seven months already described.<\/p>\n Eze 39:14<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>After the end of seven months<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> Houbigant reads this, And they shall search for them even to the seventh month.<\/em> <\/p>\n Eze 39:14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.<\/p>\n Ver. 14.

There is no separate word in the original for employment, but continual is represented and means n.en who were in constant search for dead bodies to bury. Bury with the passengers meanB the people passing through the land would finally be invited to help in this great task of burying the dead. However, it was to be after the 7 months work was over that the extra help was invited, and a part of the assistance they were to render was to search to see if any dead had been overlooked in the course of the burying period of 7 months.<\/p>\n 39:14 And they shall set apart men for [the] continual task of passing through the {i} land to bury with the travellers those that remain upon the face of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.<\/p>\n (i) Partly that the holy land should not be polluted and partly for the compassion that the children of God have even on their enemies.<\/p>\n Special men would be responsible to search the land after seven months.
