About Hor-haggidgad

Hor-haggidgad, also known as Gudgodah, was a place where the Israelites camped during their wilderness journey (Numbers 33:32-33; Deu.10.7). It was located between Bene-jaakan and Jotbathah. The name Hor-haggidgad means "cavern of Gidgad" or "hole of the cleft," while Gudgodah's meaning is uncertain. The Israelites arrived at Hor-haggidgad after departing from Bene-jaakan and before reaching Jotbathah.
