Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 39:14

"And they shall set apart men of continual employment, that shall pass through the land, and, with them that pass through, those that bury them that remain upon the face of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search." — Ezekiel 39:14 (ASV)

Men of continual employment. —The word for “continual” is the same as that translated always in Ezekiel 38:8 (see the note for that verse). It implies that this occupation is to be one of long duration, and the fact that they are to search the land through for the remains shows that the army of Gog is not conceived of as perishing when collected in one place, but when distributed all over the land. This search is only to begin after the completion of the burying for seven months already described.
