5 notes on this verseFrom thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah,.... Which Jarchi takes to be the same with Horhagidgad, and so do most; see Num 33:32, 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 Num 33:41. and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters; which the above writer takes to be the same with Beer, the well, Num 21:16 and by this description of it, it was a place where there was much water.

there Aaron died, and there he was buried
on Deuteronomy 10:6-7
These two verses break the speech and give a stretch of the wilderness record in the third person. Aaron dies at Mosera here, where Numbers 20:28 and 33:38 put his death on mount Hor, and Numbers 33:31-33 lists the same camps in the reverse order to the one given here. Keil reads Mosera as the district at the foot of Hor, Benjamin Kennicott held the passage to be out of its place, and Jamieson, Fausset and Brown say plainly that they cannot account for the insertion at this point. The accounts stand together and the difference is named rather than settled.

He appointed a standing ministry among them, to deal for them in holy things. At that time when Moses went up a second time to the mount, or soon after, he had orders to separate the tribe of Levi to God, and to his immediate service, they having distinguished themselves by their zeal against the worshippers of the golden calf,

But it is found in the most ancient Hebrew manuscripts, and, believing that all contained in this book was given by inspiration and is entitled to profound respect, we must receive it as it stands, although acknowledging our inability to explain the insertion of these encampment details in this place.
