Joshua 5:9
“And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day”— Joshua 5:99And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day. (Joshua 5:9).
IN the early days of Joshua, after each new victory, the armies of Israel returned to Gilgal, there to renew their consecration and to give thanks for divine help in time of conflict. The name “Gilgal” means “rolling,” and was given because it was there that the reproach of Egypt was rolled away. There those who were born in the wilderness were separated to God by the covenant sign of circumcision, which had been neglected during the years of their wanderings. Gilgal, therefore, speaks of self-judgment―the recognition of the unprofitableness of the flesh,
“Back to Gilgal, back to Gilgal.
Let me, O my spirit, go,
Where the stones of death lie buried
‘Neath the mighty Jordan’s flow;
Where the manna ceased from falling
On the resurrection day—
Back to where the shame of Egypt
From the host was rolled away.”
