Who this is

Geliloth marked a point on the border of the tribal territory of Benjamin, near the Jordan (Joshua 18:17). It is generally taken as another name for Gilgal in the parallel description of Judah's border at Joshua 15:7, though whether it refers to the well-known Gilgal near Jericho or a different site of the same common name (meaning "circles") is uncertain.
