gud - gō´da ( גּדגּדה , gudhgōdhāh ): A place in the wilderness journeyings ( Deuteronomy 10:7 ), corresponding to Hor-haggidgad in Numbers 33:32 . 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.
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) was edited by James Orr, John Nuelsen, Edgar Mullins, Morris Evans, and Melvin Grove Kyle and was published complete in 1939. This web site includes the complete text.
WikipediaThe ISBE is a classic Bible reference compiled from nearly 10,000 entries written by over 200 different Bible scholars and teachers. In addition to the encyclopedia articles, all of the major words of the Bible are represented and defined.
The historical, cultural, and linguistic information in the ISBE can be of great value in Bible study and research.
But as with any writings of men, the careful student of the Bible must always compare them with Scripture. As you use this helpful study resource, remember that only God's word is pure.
