The Gilgal associated with Joshua is the main place of encampment for the Israelites after 40 years of wandering in the desert and crossing the Jordan River. The story begins in Joshua 5 and this is how it got its name:

Joshua 5:9New King James Version (NKJV)

9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal[a] to this day.Footnotes:
