Strong's Lexicon Gilgal: Gilgal Original Word: גִּלְגָּל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּלַל (galal), meaning "to roll." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Gilgal, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and history. Usage: Gilgal is a significant location in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with the Israelites' early history in the Promised Land. The name is thought to mean "circle" or "rolling," possibly referring to a circle of stones or the rolling away of the reproach of Egypt (Joshua 5:9). Cultural and Historical Background: Gilgal holds a prominent place in Israel's history as the first campsite of the Israelites after crossing the Jordan River into Canaan. It served as a base for military operations during the conquest of Canaan and was a place of religious significance, where the Israelites renewed their covenant with God through circumcision and celebrated the Passover (Joshua 4:19-24, 5:2-12). Gilgal is also mentioned in connection with the prophetic ministries of Samuel and Elijah (1 Samuel 7:16, 2 Kings 2:1).
