Strong's Lexicon Beth Haggilgal: House of the Gilgal Original Word: בֵּית הגִּלְגָּל Word Origin: Derived from בֵּית (beth, meaning "house") and הַגִּלְגָּל (haggilgal, meaning "the Gilgal") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beth Haggilgal, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of Gilgal and its significance can be related to Greek terms for memorial or covenant, such as μνημεῖον (mnemeion, meaning "memorial") or διαθήκη (diatheke, meaning "covenant"). Usage: Beth Haggilgal refers to a specific location associated with the broader region of Gilgal. The term "Gilgal" itself is often associated with the concept of rolling or a circle, possibly referring to a circle of stones or a rolling away of reproach. In the context of Beth Haggilgal, it denotes a particular place within the area known as Gilgal. Cultural and Historical Background: Gilgal holds significant historical and religious importance in the Hebrew Bible. It is the first campsite of the Israelites after crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land (Joshua 4:19-20). Gilgal served as a base for military operations during the conquest of Canaan and was a place of covenant renewal and religious ceremonies. The name "Gilgal" is thought to be linked to the Hebrew word for "circle" or "rolling," possibly referring to the circle of twelve stones set up by Joshua as a memorial (Joshua 4:20-24).
