Deuteronomy 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:7

From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah
Which Jarchi takes to be the same with Horhagidgad, and so do most; see ( Numbers 33:32 Numbers 33:33 ) , but Aben Ezra says it is not, but is a general name, including Zalmonah, Punon, and Oboth, places the Israelites came to after they removed from Mount Hor, where Aaron died; see ( Numbers 33:41-43 )

and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters;
which the above writer takes to be the same with Beer, the well, ( Numbers 21:16 ) and by this description of it, it was a place where there was much water.

Deuteronomy 10:7 In-Context

5 and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as the Lord had commanded, I put them in the Box that I had made - and they have been there ever since."
6 (The Israelites set out from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, and went to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar succeeded him as priest.
7 From there they went to Gudgodah and then on to Jotbathah, a well-watered place.
8 At the mountain the Lord appointed the men of the tribe of Levi to be in charge of the Covenant Box, to serve him as priests, and to pronounce blessings in his name. And these are still their duties.
9 That is why the tribe of Levi received no land as the other tribes did; what they received was the privilege of being the Lord's priests, as the Lord your God promised.)
