Gilgal

Gilgal (Hebrew: גִּלְגָּל) is a place name mentioned by the Hebrew Bible. It is a matter of debate how many of the places named "Gilgal" are identical.

The Gilgal associated with Joshua

The main mention of Gilgal is when the Book of Joshua states that the Israelites first encamped there after having crossed the Jordan River (Joshua 4:19 - 5:12). In the narrative, after setting up camp, Joshua orders the Israelites to take twelve stones from the river, one for each tribe, and place them there in memory. Some modern scholars have argued that this is an aetiological myth created by the author of Joshua to explain away what they claim is a neolithic stone circle.

According to the biblical narrative, Joshua then orders the Israelites who had been born during the Exodus to be circumcised. The Bible refers to the location this occurred as Gibeath Haaraloth; some English translations of the Bible identify "Gibeath Haaraloth" as the name of the place. However, since the place is elsewhere identified as still being Gilgal, and since "Gibeath Haaraloth" means "hill of foreskins", some scholars think this is simply a description, and some translations provide a translation rather than a transliteration of it as a proper name.

Gilgal (kibbutz)

Gilgal (Hebrew: גִּלְגָּל) is a kibbutz and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley around 16 kilometres north of Jericho with an area of 1,400 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2011 it had a population of 167.

History

Gilgal was established in 1970 as a Nahal settlement. It was named for the ancient Biblical site of Gilgal, which is thought to have been located at Khirbet al-Mafjir two kilometres north-east of Jericho. It was converted to a civilian kibbutz in 1973.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.

Economy

Gilgal has invested millions of dollars in state-of-the-art water technology to boost its production of medjool dates. The system is based on the utilization of wastewater.
