The namers of places in the bible had a certain sense of humour sometimes.
I was reading Joshua this morning. In chapter 5 they recount how Israel, after 40 years in the desert and the old generation being replaced, needed to be circumcised.
That's probably a million males.
The place they were done was Gibeath Haaraloth.
It means 'Hill of foreskins'.
How big a hill would a million foreskins make?
