Place
Jotbathah
wilderness encampment
A wilderness encampment of Israel during the Exodus, described as a land of brooks of water.
Who or what is this?
Jotbathah appears twice in the Exodus itineraries: in Numbers 33:33–34 as a stop between Hor-hagidgad and Ebronah, and in Deuteronomy 10:7 where recalls 'from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of rivers of waters.' That description of a well-watered oasis stands out against the surrounding desert landscape and suggests a fertile spot in the or region. Beyond these references to the wilderness journey, Jotbathah carries no further narrative significance in the biblical text.
