Places
Gilgal in 1 Samuel 7
GIL-gal
This place shows up in 1 Samuel 7:16: “He went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
1 Samuel 7:16
“He went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.”
