Commentary on Joshua 5:9

God's declaration—'This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you'—connects circumcision renewal to Egypt's shame removal. Egyptian bondage represented disgrace; Canaan possession demonstrates honor. The name Gilgal (meaning 'rolling') commemorates this reproach removal. Circumcision marked covenant identity, distinguishing Israel from Egypt. This demonstrates that covenant signs testify to redemption, not merely impose obligation. Baptism similarly declares Christians' transfer from darkness's kingdom to light.
