Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 39:15

15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a mans bone , then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.

Order should be taken to inform Travellers, if they lighted on any bone, or bones of men, as they journeyed, that they were desired to set up some mark at them, that thereby the publick Officers appointed to gather and bury them, might find and carry those bones to the common burying place.

Many of Gogs Souldiers were torn by Beasts, which if some of the greater Beasts did, the lesser could not break and devour the bones, but with the flesh these were dragged about by Beasts, or scattered by the Eagles, and Vultures, and so lay divided from the body; of these the Prophet speaks.
