And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel. Gog only found a grave where he had expected the "spoils" of conquest (Ezekiel 38:13).
The valley. So vast were to be the masses, that nothing but a deep valley would suffice for their corpses.
Of the passengers on the east of the sea - the valley which is the route of those traveling on the high road, east of the Dead Sea, from Syria to Petra and Egypt.
And it shall stop [the noses] of the passengers. The publicity of the road would cause many to observe God's judgments, as the stench (as the English translation) or multitude of graves (in accordance with the translation of Henderson, 'it shall stop the passengers'), would arrest the attention of passers-by. Their grave would be close to that of their ancient prototypes, Sodom and Gomorrah in the Dead Sea, both alike being signal instances of God's judgments.
