John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 7. From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah , etc.] Which Jarchi takes to be the same with Horhagidgad, and so do most; (see Numbers 33:32,33), but Aben Ezra says it is not, but is a general name, including Zalmonah, Punon, and Oboth, places the Israelites came to after they removed from Mount Hor, where Aaron died; (see Numbers 33:41-43) and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters ; which the above writer takes to be the same with Beer, the well, ( Numbers 21:16) and by this description of it, it was a place where there was much water.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Moses reminded the Israelites of God's great mercy to them notwithstanding their provocations. There were four things in and by which the Lord showed himself reconciled to Israel. God gave them his law. Thus God has intrusted us with Bibles, sabbaths, and sacraments as tokens of his presence and favour. God led them forward towar Canaan. He appointed a standing ministry among them for holy things And now, under the gospel, when the pouring forth of the Spirit is mor plentiful and powerful, the succession is kept up by the Spirit's wor on men's hearts, qualifying and making some willing for that work in every age. God accepted Moses as an advocate or intercessor for them and therefore appointed him to be their prince and leader. Moses was type of Christ, who ever lives, pleading for us, and has all power in heaven and in earth.
