GIL-gal
This place shows up in Joshua 5:9: “Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Joshua 5:9
“Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to this day.”
What kids can learn
