5:9 The name ‘Gilgal’ (‘גִּלְגָּל’, ‘circle’) sounds like ‘galal’ (‘גַּלַל’, ‘roll’).

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:2–12 Joshua circumcised the men, and the Israelites observed Passover

Joshua circumcised the Israelite men, because they had not done this ceremony while they walked through the wilderness for forty years. Then the Israelites observed the Passover ceremony. They ate food from the land of Canaan, and God stopped sending them manna.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Circumcision of the next generation

Circumcision and the first Passover in the promised land

5:9a

Then the LORD said to Joshua,

Then Yahweh told Joshua:
Then Yahweh said to Joshua:

Then: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as Then signals the next event in the storyline. Use a connecting word in your language that shows that the next event in the story line is taking place.

the LORD said to Joshua: If it is necessary for this verb to have an explicit object, you can add “these words” or “this.” For example:

Yahweh said these words to Joshua

5:9b

“Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.”

“Today I have taken the disgrace of being slaves in Egypt away from you.”
“It was shameful for you to be slaves in Egypt. But now I have removed your shame.”

Today: The word Today means “this day” or “now.”

I have rolled away: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as I have rolled away is a Hebrew idiom. It means “to remove” or “to take away.”

the reproach of Egypt from you: The phrase the reproach of Egypt refers to the shame the Israelites suffered while they were slaves in Egypt. Being circumcised was the final step in their freedom from this shame.

The reproach does not mean that the Israelites could not be circumcised in Egypt.5:9 See the footnote in NET at verse 5:9 about “disgrace of Egypt.”

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

I have removed from you the disgrace of being slaves in Egypt (GNT)

It was shameful for you to be slaves in Egypt. Now I have taken away your shame

5:9c

So that place has been called Gilgal to this day.

That is why they named that place Gilgal, the name it still has today.
Because of this, Joshua gave that place the name Gilgal, which it is still named today.

So: The word So can also be translated:

therefore

for this reason

that place has been called Gilgal: The Israelites called this place Gilgal when they made their camp there. It was not yet a town at that time. Later it became a center of worship.5:9 Rasmussen, p. 236. In some languages it may be more natural to say:

that place is called Gilgal

they named that place Gilgal

that place: The phrase that place refers to where the Israelites camped and were circumcised.

Gilgal: The name Gilgal sounds similar to the Hebrew word which means “to roll.” This is a pun on the idiom “I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” If you have used the idiom “roll” in verse 9b you could include this information in a footnote. For example:

FOOTNOTE: The name Gilgal sounds like the Hebrew word “roll”

to this day: The phrase to this day means “until now” or “until today” and refers to the time when the author was writing the book of Joshua.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

גַּלּ֛וֹתִי אֶת־חֶרְפַּ֥ת מִצְרַ֖יִם מֵ⁠עֲלֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) the=day rolled_away DOM disgrace_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) from,on,you(pl) and=he/it_called name_of of,the_place (the)=that Gilgāl until the=day (the),this )

Yahweh is speaking as if he had actually rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from the Israelites. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I have removed the disgrace of Egypt from you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

גַּלּ֛וֹתִי אֶת־חֶרְפַּ֥ת מִצְרַ֖יִם מֵ⁠עֲלֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of disgrace, you could express the same idea in another way. See the discussion of this phrase in the introduction to this chapter. Alternate translation: [I have taken you out of the disgraceful situation you were in as former slaves of the Egyptians]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַ⁠יִּקְרָ֞א שֵׁ֣ם הַ⁠מָּק֤וֹם הַ⁠הוּא֙ גִּלְגָּ֔ל

It might seem that the expression calls the name contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [People call that place Gilgal] or [The name of that place has been Gilgal]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

עַ֖ד הַ⁠יּ֥וֹם הַ⁠זֶּֽה

until the=day (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) the=day rolled_away DOM disgrace_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) from,on,you(pl) and=he/it_called name_of of,the_place (the)=that Gilgāl until the=day (the),this )

See how you translated the phrase to this day in [Joshua 4:9](../04/09.md). Alternate translation: [right up to this time]

5:9 The name ‘Gilgal’ (‘גִּלְגָּל’, ‘circle’) sounds like ‘galal’ (‘גַּלַל’, ‘roll’).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
