Hor-hagidgad
Hor-hagidgad
(Hebrew Chor hag-Gidgad’, , hole of the Gidgad; Sept. ,Vulg. mons Gadgad, both apparently reading or misunderstanding or for ), the thirty-third station of the Israelites between Bene- Jaakan and Jotbathah (Num 33:32-33); evidently the same with their forty-first station GUDGODHA, between the same places in the opposite direction, and not far from Mount Hor (Deu 10:6; Deu 10:2). Winer (Realwort. s.v. Horgidgad) assents to the possibility of the identity of this name with that of wady Ghudhaghid, in the eastern part of the desert et-Tih (Robinson’s Researches, 3, App. 210, b), although the names are spelt and signify differently (this valley would be in Hebrew characters ), but objects to the identification thus proposed by Ewald (Isral. Gesch. 2, 207) on the ground that can hardly mean a wide valley. This difficulty, however, does not weigh much, since the wady may only be the representative of the name anciently attached to some spot in the vicinity, more properly called a chasm; and even this spot is sufficiently a gully to form a receptacle for the loose sand washed down by the freshets, which may naturally have partly filled it up in the course of ages. With this identification Rabbi Schwarz likewise agrees (Palest. p. 213). SEE EXODE. The name Gidgad or Gudgod, according to Gesenius, is from an Ethiopic reduplicated root, signifying to reverberate, as thunder; but, according to Furst, signifies a cleft, from or , to incise. SEE GUDGODAAH.

The Arabic jedjad means a hard level tract such as the summit of a mountain range would be.
