Commentary for Deuteronomy 10:7
Deuteronomy 10:7 is part of the Old Testament in the Bible, specifically within the book that recounts Moses' final speeches to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land. This verse is situated within a larger narrative that reviews the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the edge of Canaan, emphasizing God's guidance and provision for His people despite their frequent disobedience and lack of faith.
In the verse, "From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters," we find a succinct record of one segment of the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. The names "Gudgodah" and "Jotbath" are not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, but the reference to "a land of rivers of waters" suggests a place of abundant water resources, which would have been a significant detail for a nomadic people traversing arid regions. This description of a well-watered land contrasts with other parts of their journey, which were marked by a lack of water and necessitated divine intervention to provide for the Israelites' needs (e.g., Exodus 17:1-7; Numbers 20:2-13).
The historical context of Deuteronomy 10:7 reflects the broader theme of the book, which is to remind the Israelites of their covenant relationship with God, His laws, and the importance of obedience as they prepare to enter and possess the land He promised to their ancestors. The mention of specific locations also serves to authenticate the historical narrative, reinforcing the reality of God's active role in the Israelites' journey and His faithfulness in leading them to a land flowing with milk and honey, as previously promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This verse, while brief, encapsulates the themes of journey, divine guidance, and the fulfillment of God's promises, which are central to the story of Israel and their formation as a nation chosen by God.
