What do we learn from "v'Kavrum Beis Yisrael"?

1.

Malbim: Do not say that they themselves will bury their dead. All of them will die ? none of them will remain to bury others! Only Beis Yisrael will bury them.

Why will they bury them?

1.

Radak: Hashem commanded to bury people [executed and] hung in Yisrael ? "v'Lo Setamei Es Admmasecha" (Devarim 21:23). An unburied Mes is Tum'as ha'Aretz. And so Yehoshua commanded to do to the five kings, and so Yisrael will bury Gog's multitudes "Lema'an Taher Es ha'Aretz."

2.

Malbim: It will be to purify the land from decay, stench and Tum'ah.

3)

What will be seven months?

1.

Radak, Malbim: They will engage in burying them for seven months.
