Berean 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. However, the concept of "rolling away" or "removal" can be related to Greek terms like ἀφαιρέω (aphaireo, Strong's G851), meaning "to take away" or "remove." Usage: Gilgal is a significant location in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with pivotal events in Israel's history. The name is thought to mean "circle" or "rolling," possibly referring to a circle of stones or the rolling away of reproach. It is primarily known as the first campsite of the Israelites after crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Cultural and Historical Background: Gilgal holds a prominent place in Israelite history and tradition. It was here that Joshua set up twelve stones taken from the Jordan as a memorial of the crossing (Joshua 4:20). Gilgal served as a base of operations during the conquest of Canaan and was a place of religious significance, where the Israelites celebrated the Passover and where the rite of circumcision was renewed (Joshua 5:2-10). It later became a site of prophetic activity and judgment (1 Samuel 7:16; 1 Samuel 10:8). NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originvar. of galgal Definition a wheel NASB Translation wheel (1).
