All the people of the land
This phrase emphasizes the collective responsibility and unity of the Israelites. In the Hebrew context, "all the people" (כָּל־עַם) signifies a communal action, reflecting the shared duty of the nation. Historically, this can be seen as a call to national repentance and restoration, where every individual participates in the act of cleansing the land. It underscores the importance of community in God's plan, where each person plays a role in fulfilling divine purposes.

will bury them
The act of burial here is significant both practically and symbolically. In ancient Israel, burial was a sacred duty, ensuring respect for the dead and preventing defilement of the land. The Hebrew root קָבַר (qabar) implies an act of reverence and finality. This burial signifies the end of a period of judgment and the beginning of restoration. It is a physical act that mirrors a spiritual cleansing, preparing the land for God's renewed presence.

and the day I display My glory
This phrase points to a future event of divine revelation and intervention. The Hebrew word for "glory" (כָּבוֹד, kavod) often denotes God's manifest presence. Historically, God's glory was associated with the tabernacle and temple, signifying His dwelling among His people. This prophetic promise assures that God's glory will be evident to all, marking a turning point in history where His power and holiness are unmistakably revealed.

will be a memorable day for them
The term "memorable" (זִכָּרוֹן, zikaron) in Hebrew suggests a day of remembrance and significance. This day is not just a historical marker but a spiritual milestone for the people. It is a day that will be etched in the collective memory of the nation, serving as a testament to God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises. It encourages believers to look forward to God's ultimate redemption and the establishment of His kingdom.

declares the Lord GOD
This closing phrase affirms the certainty and authority of the prophecy. The use of "declares" (נְאֻם, ne'um) in Hebrew conveys a solemn pronouncement, underscoring that these are not merely human words but the divine decree of the "Lord GOD" (אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, Adonai Yahweh). It reassures the faithful that God's word is unchanging and His plans are sovereign, inviting trust and obedience from His people. This declaration serves as a reminder of God's ultimate control over history and His unwavering commitment to His covenant.

(13) All the people of the land.--"It would be but a very moderate allowance, on the literal supposition, to say that a million of men would be thus engaged, and that on an average each would consign to the tomb two corpses in one day; which, for the 180 working days of the seven months, would make an aggregate of 360,000,000 of corpses !" (Fairbairn.)
