Gudgodah — a wilderness encampment of Israel during the exodus journey
Gudgodah appears in Moses's recollection of Israel's wilderness wanderings as one of the stopping places during the journey from Egypt to Canaan. The name appears twice in one verse (Deuteronomy 10:7) with slightly different forms, describing Israel's movement from one campsite to another. The parallel account in Numbers 33 calls this place 'Hor-haggidgad,' suggesting 'Gudgodah' may be a shortened form. The site's exact location is unknown, and the name's meaning remains uncertain, though it may relate to cutting or gouging, perhaps describing geological features of the area.
Senses
