- Gilgal:
- That is, the place afterwards called Gilgal; for it is so called here by anticipation. It was about ten furlongs east from Jericho, and fifty west from the Jordan. See Josephus and Calmet. "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Joshua,ª This dayª have I rolled awayª°¹ the reproachª of Egyptª from off¹¹ you. Wherefore the nameª of the placeª is calledª° Gilgalª unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {Jsh 5:9} + "And the men²¹ of Gibeonª sentª° unto¹ Joshuaª to¹ the campª to Gilgal,ª saying,ª° Slackª° not¹ thy handª from thy servants;ª¹ come upª° to¹ us quickly,ª and saveª° us, and helpª° us: for¹ all¹ the kingsª of the Amoritesª that dwellª° in the mountainsª are gathered togetherª° against¹ us." {Jsh 10:6} + "And Joshuaª returned,ª° and all¹ Israelª with¹ him, unto¹ the campª to Gilgal.ª" {Jsh 10:43} + "And the borderª went upª° toward Debirª from the valleyª¹ of Achor,ª and so northward,ª lookingª° toward¹ Gilgal,ª that¹ [is] beforeª the going upª to Adummim,ª which¹ [is] on the south sideª¹ of the river:ª and the borderª passedª° toward¹ the watersª of Enshemesh,ª and the goings outª thereof were¹ at¹ Enrogel:ª" {Jsh 15:7} + "Then saidª° Samuelª to¹ the people,ª Come,²°¹ and let us go²°¹ to Gilgal,ª and renewª° the kingdomª there.¹ ... And all¹ the peopleª went²°¹ to Gilgal;ª and there¹ they made Saul² kingª°¹¹ beforeª the LORDª in Gilgal;ª and there¹ they sacrificedª° sacrificesª of peace offeringsª beforeª the LORD;ª and there¹ Saulª and all¹ the men²¹ of Israelª rejoicedª° greatly.ª" {1Sm 11:14-15} + "And Samuelª said,ª° As¹ thy swordª hath made womenª childless,ª° so¹ shall thy motherª be childlessª° among women.ª¹ And Samuelª hewed²° Agag² in piecesª°¹¹ beforeª the LORDª in Gilgal.ª" {1Sm 15:33} + "Comeª° to Bethel,ª and transgress;ª° at Gilgalª multiplyª° transgression;ª° and bringª° your sacrificesª every morning,ª [and] your tithesª after threeª years:ª" {Ams 4:4} + "But seekª° not¹ Bethel,ª nor¹ enterª° into Gilgal,ª and passª° not¹ to Beersheba:ª for¹ Gilgalª shall surely²° go into captivity,ª° and Bethelª shall come¹ to nought.ª" {Ams 5:5} + "O my people,ª rememberª° now¹ what¹ Balakª kingª of Moabª consulted,ª° and what¹ Balaamª the sonª of Beorª answeredª° him from¹ Shittimª unto¹ Gilgal;ª that¹ ye may knowª° the righteousnessª of the LORD.ª" {Mic 6:5}
