Migdol: Tower.1. A strongly-fortified place 12 miles from Pelusium, in the
north of Egypt
(Jeremiah 44:1; 46:14) This word is rendered "tower" in
(Ezekiel 29:10) but the margin correctly retains the name Migdol,
"from Migdol to Syene;" i.e., from Migdol in the north to Syene
in the south, in other words, the whole of Egypt.
2. A place mentioned in the passage of the Red Sea
(Exodus 14:2)
(Numbers 33:7,8) It is probably to be identified with Bir Suweis,
about 2 miles from Suez.
