And he said Yahweh to Joshua this day I have rolled away [the] reproach of Egypt from on you and he called [the] name of the place that Gilgal until the day this.
10 Esime wonɔ asaɖa me le Gilgal le Yeriko gbedzi la, woɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui le ɣleti la ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia ƒe fiẽ.
And they encamped [the] people of Israel at Gilgal and they observed the passover on [the] four-teen day of the month in the evening on [the] plains of Jericho.
