(1) a wheel, Isaiah 28:28.

(2) with art. הַגִּלְגָּל (“a circle,” or according to Joshua 5:9, “a rolling away”), Gilgal, pr.n. [a] of a town situated between Jericho and the Jordan (Joshua 4:19, 20 Joshua 4:20, 9:6 10:6, Joshua 10:7, 14:6 15:7 ), where Samuel and Saul sacrificed (1 Samuel 10:8, 11:14, 15 1 Samuel 11:15 -13:49 ; 15:21, 33 1 Samuel 15:33), and where prophets dwelt, 2 Kings 4:38, but where also the worship of idols was practised (Judges 3:19; Hosea 4:15, 9:15 Amos 5:5); more fully בֵּית הַגִּלְגָּל Nehemiah 12:29 Γάλγαλα, 1Ma_9:2.
