1. Gilgal (place name) — A significant Israelite cultic and political site, most prominently the first encampment after crossing the Jordan where Joshua set up twelve memorial stones and the people were circumcised. The three clusters are purely prepositional/conjunctive variants of the same toponym: bare/articular form (28x), with preposition beth/lamed 'in/at Gilgal' (11x), and with conjunctive waw 'and Gilgal' (2x). All translations confirm a single place name: Spanish 'Gilgal/Guilgal', Hindi 'गिल्गाल/गिलगाल' (Gilgal), Arabic 'الجِلجالَ/الْجِلْجَالَ' (al-Jiljal), Korean '길갈' (Gilgal), Swahili 'Gilgali'. Appears extensively in Joshua 4-5, 9-10, 14-15; Judges 2:1, 3:19; 1 Samuel 7:16, 10:8, 11:14-15, 13:4-15, 15:12-33; Hosea 4:15, 9:15, 12:12; Amos 4:4, 5:5; Micah 6:5. 41×
