Hasidut untuk Yosua 5:9

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ הַיּ֗וֹם גַּלּ֛וֹתִי אֶת־חֶרְפַּ֥ת מִצְרַ֖יִם מֵעֲלֵיכֶ֑ם וַיִּקְרָ֞א שֵׁ֣ם הַמָּק֤וֹם הַהוּא֙ גִּלְגָּ֔ל עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃

Lalu Yang Mahakekal berfirman kepada Yosua: “Pada hari ini Aku telah menyingkirkan aib Mesir dari atas kalian.” Karena itu tempat itu dinamai Gilgal sampai hari ini.

Sefer HaMiddot

The commentators do not provide any citations for this, so I suggest a hint from Joshua 5:9, where we find that after Joshua had all of Israel circumcised G-d says that here He has removed the disgrace, and we find by the birth of Joseph that a woman not being able to bear children is considered to have an aspect of disgrace, so by looking at the knife that removed disgrace there...).
