SCRIPTURE

"Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord Jehovah." — Ezekiel 39:13 (ASV)

All the people of the land. —“It would be only a very moderate estimate, assuming a literal interpretation, to say that a million men would be engaged in this task, and that on average each would consign to the tomb two corpses in one day; which, over the 180 working days of the seven months, would result in a total of 360,000,000 corpses!” (Fairbairn.)
