_ _ with the passengers — The men employed continually in the burying were to be helped by those happening to pass by; all were to combine.

_ _ after the end of seven months shall they search — to see if the work was complete [Munster].

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 39:14

They — The rulers of Israel. Sever — Chuse out men who shall make it their work. Passing — To go up and down over the whole land; for many of Gog's wounded, flying soldiers, died in thickets, and corners into which they crept. The passengers — Whose assistance they would desire of courtesy. Remain — Unburied by the public labour of the house of Israel during the seven months.
