4:19-20 The tenth day of the first month occurred a few days before Passover. • Gilgal became an important worship center for early Israel. Although its location is uncertain, it was somewhere just east or northeast of Jericho. Its name (which means “wheel of a cart,” cp. Isa 28:28) implies that Joshua set the twelve stones in a circle (cp. study note on Josh 5:9).
