Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּלַל (galal), meaning "to roll."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew "Gilgal" in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and history. However, the concept of "rolling" or "circle" can be related to Greek words like κυκλικός (kyklikos), meaning "circular" or "cyclical," though these are not direct translations or references to the place Gilgal. Usage: Gilgal is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several locations of significance in Israel's history. Context: Gilgal is a notable location in the biblical narrative, primarily recognized as the first campsite of the Israelites after crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land. It is here that Joshua set up twelve stones taken from the Jordan as a memorial (Joshua 4:20). Gilgal served as a base of operations during the conquest of Canaan and was the site of significant events, including the circumcision of the Israelite males born in the wilderness (Joshua 5:2-9) and the celebration of the first Passover in the land (Joshua 5:10-12). The name "Gilgal" is associated with the rolling away of the "reproach of Egypt" from the Israelites (Joshua 5:9).
