- Joshua 4:19
On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho.
Commentary on Joshua 4:192 voices
And when do they come to the crossing of the Jordan? For I have noted that this also has been indicated, so that even the time might be distinguished, and with good reason. "On the tenth," it says, "of the first month." That is also the day on which the mystery of the lamb was prefigured in Egypt. On the tenth of the first month, these things were celebrated in Egypt; on the tenth of the first month, they go into the land of promise.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON JOSHUA 4.4, 253Patristic
And the people came up out of Jordan,.... The channel of it, to the shore: on the tenth day of the first month; the month Nisan or Abib, which from the time of Israel's coming out of Egypt was appointed the first month of the year, Exo 12:2; on the fifteenth of which month they came out of Egypt, having kept the passover on the fourteenth at even; so that their coming out of Egypt, to their entrance into Canaan, was just forty years, wanting five days.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Joshua 5:2–9
At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel once again.”
Commentary on Joshua 5:2–91 voice
In the course of the appointing of a successor to Moses, Hoshea the son of Nun is certainly transferred from his pristine name and begins to be called Jesus [Joshua]. Certainly, you say. This we first assert to have been a figure of the future. For, because Jesus Christ was to introduce the second people (which is composed of us nations, lingering deserted in the world previously) into the land of promise, "flowing with milk and honey" (that is, into the possession of eternal life, than which nothing is sweeter).
Tertullian· AN ANSWER TO THE JEWS 9, 220Patristic
- Joshua 5:10
On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while the Israelites were camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they kept the Passover.
Commentary on Joshua 5:102 voices
After they observed the Passover in Egypt, they began the exodus. In the book of Joshua, however, after the crossing of the Jordan, on the tenth day of the first month they encamped in Gilgal.…Then the sons of Israel observed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month much more cheerfully than the one in Egypt, seeing that they also "ate unleavened bread and fresh from the grain of the holy land," a food better than the manna.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 6.233-35, 253Patristic
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal,....

- Joshua 5:11
The day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate unleavened bread and roasted grain from the produce of the land.
Commentary on Joshua 5:112 voices
After they observed the Passover in Egypt, they began the exodus. In the book of Joshua, however, after the crossing of the Jordan, on the tenth day of the first month they encamped in Gilgal.…Then the sons of Israel observed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month much more cheerfully than the one in Egypt, seeing that they also "ate unleavened bread and fresh from the grain of the holy land," a food better than the manna.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 6.233-35, 253Patristic
Now if the law is to be understood only according to the letter, without doubt the sons of Israel will be found to have received poorer things from the promise since they had been partaking of better things—for they were receiving manna from heaven. When they had forsaken the prior food of Egypt, a better food by all means had followed, the manna from heaven.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON JOSHUA 6.1, 253Patristic
- Joshua 5:12
And the day after they had eaten from the produce of the land, the manna ceased. There was no more manna for the Israelites, so that year they began to eat the crops of the land of Canaan.
Commentary on Joshua 5:121 voice
Indeed at that time, when the people went out of the land of Egypt, "they carried dough in their clothes." And when the dough had run out and they had no bread, God rained manna on them. But when they came to the holy land and "took the fruit of the province of the palms, the manna ceased for them," and then they began to eat of the fruit of the land.In this manner, three kinds of food in general are described.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON JOSHUA 6.1, 253Patristic
- Joshua 9:6
They went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a distant land; please make a treaty with us.”
Commentary on Joshua 9:62 voices
And they went to Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
"In my father's house are many mansions," says the Word of God. Yet even the resurrection of the dead will not exhibit an equal glory of those rising again, for "there is one flesh of birds, another of cattle, and even another of fish. There are both heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but the glory of heavenly things is one thing, that of the earthly, another. One glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, another glory of the stars.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON JOSHUA 10.1, 253Patristic
- Joshua 10:6
Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
Commentary on Joshua 10:62 voices
And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The language reflects the urgency of the crisis. Accordingly Joshua made a forced march, accompanied only by his soldiers Jos 10:7, and accomplished in a single night the distance from Gilgal to Gibeon (about 15 miles in a direct line), which on a former occasion had been a three days journey Jos 9:17.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Joshua 10:43
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
Commentary on Joshua 10:431 voice
And Joshua returned,.... After all these kings and their cities had been taken by him, and not before; though the same is said, Jos 10:15, before the history of those facts; See Gill on Jos 10:15, and all Israel with him to the camp in Gilgal; where the body of the people were left, and where was the tabernacle of the Lord; and no doubt he and Israel with him gave public praise and thanksgiving there for the signal victories they had obtained over the Canaanites.

- Joshua 12:23
the king of Dor in Naphath-dor, one; the king of Goiim in Gilgal, one;
Commentary on Joshua 12:232 voices
The king of Dor - The city of this name fell to the lot of the children of Manasseh, Jos 17:11. Bochart observes that it was one of the oldest royal cities in Phoenicia. The Canaanites held it, Jdg 1:27. Antiochus Sydetes besieged it in aftertimes, but could not make himself master of it. See Bochart, Canaan, lib. i., c. 28, and Dodd. The king of the nations of Gilgal - This is supposed to mean the higher Galilee, surnamed Galilee of the Gentiles or, nations, as the Hebrew word גוים goyim means.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
The king of Dor, in the coast of Dor, one,....

- Joshua 14:6
Then the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh-barnea about you and me.
Commentary on Joshua 14:62 voices
Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
However, he [the Lord] said they should not come to that land which they had refused, as a penalty for their unbelief; but their children and wives, who had not murmured, and who, owing to their sex and age, were guiltless, should receive the promised inheritance of that land. So the bodies of those of twenty years old and upwards fell in the desert. The punishment of the rest was put aside. But they who had gone up with Joshua, and had thought fit to dissuade the people, died without delay of a great plague.
Ambrose of Milan· On the Duties of the Clergy 3.8.55-56, 397Patristic
- Judges 3:14–26
The Israelites served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
Commentary on Judges 3:14–261 voice
So the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years. Ten years longer than they served the king of Mesopotamia, Jdg 3:8, as a severer correction of them for their relapse into idolatry.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Judges 3:19
But upon reaching the idols near Gilgal, he himself turned back and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” “Silence,” said the king, and all his attendants left him.
Commentary on Judges 3:192 voices
But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal,...., For so far he accompanied the men that came with him.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Gilgal was in the immediate neighborhood of Jericho Jdg 2:1, where doubtless Eglon held his court at this time Jdg 3:13. Quarries - Some take the original of this word in its common meaning of carved images or idols (see the margin).
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- 1 Samuel 7:16
Every year he would go on a circuit from Bethel to Gilgal to Mizpah, judging Israel in all these places.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 7:162 voices
29. Bethel is called the house of God; Gilgal, a wheel; Mizpah, as has already been repeated above, is interpreted as a watchtower. What then does Bethel signify, if not men appointed to the office of the sacred altar, who, while they devote themselves to spiritual pursuits, are as it were intimates and members of the household of almighty God? And what does Gilgal, which is called a wheel, designate, if not the order of married persons? For they go around as if on a wheel, since they cannot be entirely free from the cares of this changing world.
Gregory the Dialogist· Commentary on 1 Kings, Book 3, Chapter 5, 604Patristic
And he went from year to year in circuit,....

- 1 Samuel 11:15
So all the people went to Gilgal and confirmed Saul as king in the presence of the LORD. There they sacrificed peace offerings before the LORD, and Saul and all the Israelites rejoiced greatly.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 11:152 voices
16. If therefore we apply all things in the manner in which they occur above in the ordaining of the king to the custom of the holy Church, her rulers are ordained with great subtlety. For first the king to be chosen was shown to the prophet, then he was sought as though unknown; afterward he was even found by lot, hidden at home, revealed by the Lord, raised up by the people, and received by all into royal dignity. What then is it that they still proceed to Gilgal, so that there the kingdom might be renewed?
Gregory the Dialogist· Commentary on 1 Kings, Book 5, Chapter 1, 604Patristic
And Saul rejoiced there, etc. Saul rejoiced in Gilgal, which is called revelation. Jesus exulted in the Holy Spirit and said: I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent (Matt. XI; Luke X), …
Bede· Commentary on Samuel, 735Patristic
- 1 Samuel 13:4–15
And all Israel heard the news: “Saul has attacked an outpost of the Philistines, and now Israel has become a stench to the Philistines!” Then the people were summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 13:4–151 voice
6. When the garrison of the Philistines was struck, Saul sounds the trumpet, and after Saul the people shout: because holy preachers proclaim the heard virtues of the elect, and inflame the hearts of their subjects to the example of good work. To sound the trumpet is both to announce victory and to rouse the minds of others by the example of the victors to the purpose of spiritual warfare. For the people to shout after Saul is to undertake the daring of great devotion from having heard the preaching.
Gregory the Dialogist· Commentary on 1 Kings, Book 5, Chapter 3, 604Patristic
- 1 Samuel 15:6–23
And he warned the Kenites, “Since you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt, go on and get away from the Amalekites. Otherwise I will sweep you away with them.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 15:6–231 voice
Who is the Kenite, who is known to dwell with Amalek, and who is compelled to depart, lest he be equally entangled with him? But perhaps this is the one about whom the Apostle says: "Let the husband render to his wife what is due, and likewise the wife to her husband" (1 Cor. 7:3). The name also fits him, because "Kenite" is said to mean "possessing." These married persons, because they are bound by marriage, are not compelled to abandon everything.
