Migdol:
(tower) the name of one of two places on the eastern frontier of Egypt.
(1.) A Migdol is mentioned in the account of the exodus (Exodus 14:2; Numbers 33:7, 8) near the head of the Red Sea.
(2.) A Migdol is spoken of by Jeremiah and Ezekiel. The latter prophet mentions it as a boundary‐town, evidently on the eastern border (Ezekiel 29:10; 30:6). In the prophecy of Jeremiah the Jews in Egypt are spoken of as dwelling at Migdol (Jeremiah 44:1). It seems plain, from its being spoken of with Memphis, and from Jews dwelling there, that this Migdol was an important town.
