Migdol
        (tower), the name of one of two places on the eastern frontier of Egypt.
        1. A Migdol is mentioned int he account of the exodus, Ex 14:2; Nu 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. Eze 29:10; 30:6 In the prophecy of Jeremiah the Jews in Egypt are spoken of as dwelling at Migdol. Jer 44:1 It seems plain, from its being spoken of with Memphis, and from Jews dwelling there, that this Midgol was an important town.
