Subjects in this Topic:

gud-gō´da (גּדגּדה, gudhgōdhāh): A place in the wilderness journeyings (), corresponding to Hor-haggidgad in . Septuagint in each case renders (Γαδγάδ, Gadgád). The site cannot now be identified; but there may be an echo of the ancient name in that of Wādy Guḍāghiḍ, a confluent of Wādy Jerāfeh, which comes down from et Tı̄h into the ‛Arabah nearly due West of Petra. There are difficulties, however, as the consonants do not correspond.
