Vallis multitudinis Gog), the name prophetically ascribed to the valley in which the corpses of the slaughtered army of Gog are described as to be buried (Eze_39:11; Eze_39:15); represented as situated to the east of the Dead Sea, on the thoroughfare of commerce with Arabia (comp. the route of the Ishmaelites to whom Joseph was sold, Gen_17:25), probably the present Haj road between Damascus and Mecca, but scarcely referring to any particular spot.
