Discovery BoxEzekiel 38:4 
Context38:4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and bring you out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them fully armed, a great company with shields of different types, 1 all of them armed with swords.
Ezekiel 38:6
Context38:6 They are joined by 2 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. 3
1 sn The Hebrew text mentions two different types of shields here.
2 tn The words “they are joined by” are added in the translation for purposes of English style.
3 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.
