What does Joshua 5:9 mean?

Then the Lord said to Joshua, 'Today I’ve rolled away the shame of Egypt from you.' So they named that place Gilgal, which means 'rolled away,' and that’s what it’s still called. Joshua 5:9 - Modern Text Bible

(God declares that the past disgrace is gone. The name Gilgal becomes a reminder of this new beginning.)
