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 I turned around and came down the mountain. I put the stone slabs in the Chest that I made and they've been there ever since, just as God commanded me.
6 The People of Israel went from the wells of the Jaakanites to Moserah. Aaron died there and was buried. His son Eleazar succeeded him as priest.
7 From there they went to Gudgodah, and then to Jotbathah, a land of streams of water.
8 That's when God set apart the tribe of Levi to carry God's Covenant Chest, to be on duty in the Presence of God, to serve him, and to bless in his name, as they continue to do today.
9 And that's why Levites don't have a piece of inherited land as their kinsmen do. God is their inheritance, as God, your God, promised them.
