Stone Circle in The Bible. A Gilgal (stone circle) is mentioned in the Bible, in a list of conquests under the leadership of Joshua (Joshua 12:7). There are scholars who believe that this is not the same location as the one where the Israelites had encamped. Some scholars believe that this may be the result of a scribal error, and instead should really refer to Galilee.
It may also have been the place marked by the modern village Jiljulieh, southwest of Antipatris, and northeast of Joppa. But another Gilgal, under the slightly different form of Kilkilieh, lies about two miles east of Antipatris.
