Ezekiel 38:6

38:6 They are joined by ¹  Gomer with all its troops, and by Beth Togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops – many peoples are with you. ² 

Ezekiel 38:9

38:9 You will advance; ³  you will come like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the earth, you, all your troops, and the many other peoples with you.

¹ tn The words “they are joined by” are added in the translation for purposes of English style.

² sn The seven-nation coalition represents the north (Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, Beth-Togarmah), the south/west (Ethiopia, Put) and the east (Persia). The use of the sevenfold list suggests completeness. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:441.

³ tn Heb “go up.”
