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.
