(10:7) [See Horhagidgad]
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE)
<p>gud-go'-da (gudhgodhah): A place in the wilderness journeyings (De 10:7), corresponding to Hor-haggidgad in Nu 33:32. Septuagint in each case renders (Gadgad). The site cannot now be identified; but there may be an echo of the ancient name in that of Wady Gudaghid, a confluent of Wady Jerafeh, which comes down from et Tih into the `Arabah nearly due West of Petra. There are difficulties, however, as the consonants do not correspond.</p>
