Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) the house of Israel
(Some words not found in UHB: and,burying,them house_of Yisrael in_order_to cleanse DOM the=earth/land seven months )
The word “house” is a metonym for the family that lives in the house, in this case the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob over many years. See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 3:1](../03/01.md). Alternate translation: “the Israelites” or “the Israelite people group”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) will bury them in order to purify the land
(Some words not found in UHB: and,burying,them house_of Yisrael in_order_to cleanse DOM the=earth/land seven months )
In Jewish law, a dead body defiled anything it touched and made it “unclean.” Burying these bodies is spoken of as cleansing or purifying the land.
(Occurrence 0) bury them
(Some words not found in UHB: and,burying,them house_of Yisrael in_order_to cleanse DOM the=earth/land seven months )
Alternate translation: “bury the soldiers of Gog’s army”
39:12-16 The body count would be so large that everyone in Israel would be involved in the clean-up process for seven months. Even after that initial period, there would be a continuing need for teams of professional morticians to go through the land, tagging remains so that they could be properly disposed of.
