The name itself suggests a rugged or difficult terrain, as "Hor" often refers to a mountain or hill. This reflects the challenging conditions the Israelites faced during their 40 years in the desert. The journey from Hor-haggidgad signifies a transition in their travels, moving them closer to the Promised Land. This phase of their journey can be seen as a test of faith and endurance, echoing the broader biblical theme of trusting God through trials.<p><b>and camped at Jotbathah</b><br>Jotbathah is described in <a href="/deuteronomy/10-7.htm">Deuteronomy 10:7</a> as a place of "streams of water," indicating a more hospitable environment compared to the arid desert. This location provided the Israelites with necessary resources, symbolizing God's provision and care for His people. The transition from a difficult place to one of abundance can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual renewal and blessing. Jotbathah's mention highlights the importance of rest and refreshment in the believer's journey, paralleling the spiritual rest found in Christ.
