Gudgodah

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Gudgodah . A station in the journeyings of the Israelites (  Deuteronomy 10:7 ), whence they proceeded to Jotbathah. There can be little doubt that Hor-haggidgad in the itinerary of   Numbers 33:33 indicates the same place.

Morrish Bible Dictionary

One of the stations of the Israelites in the wilderness.  Deuteronomy 10:7 . Probably the same as Hor-Hagidgad in  Numbers 33:32,33 .

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

[-some Gud'godah] (Heb. with the art. and, directive, hag-Gudgod'-ah,, הִגֻּדְגֹּדָה , rent, or perh. thunder; Sept. Γαδγάδ , Vulg. Gadgad), the fortieth station of the Israelites during their wanderings in the desert, between Mount Her and Jotbath ( Deuteronomy 10:7); doubtless the same with HOR-HAGIDGAD, through which they had previously passed between Bene-jaakan and Jotbath ( Numbers 33:32). The name appears to be preserved in the present wady Chudhaghidh ("diminutions"), mentioned by Robinson (Res. i, 267) as "a broad sandy valley which drains the remainder of the region between the Jerafeh and el-Mukrah, and carries its waters eastward to the former." (See Exode). In this identification two late travellers agree (Schwartz p. 213; Bonar, p. 286, 295). (See Hor- Hagidgad). Dr. Robinson suggests that Gudgodah and Jotbathah may be in the Arabah, near the junction of wady Ghurun-del with wady el-Jeib (Res. ii, 583). (See Jotbath).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

gud - gō´da ( גּדגּדה , gudhgōdhāh ): A place in the wilderness journeyings (  Deuteronomy 10:7 ), corresponding to Hor-haggidgad in  Numbers 33:32 . Septuagint in each case renders (Γαδγάδ , Gadgád ). The site cannot now be identified; but there may be an echo of the ancient name in that of Wādy Guḍāghiḍ , a confluent of Wādy Jerāfeh , which comes down from et Tı̄h into the ‛Arabah nearly due West of Petra. There are difficulties, however, as the consonants do not correspond.
