This term is often used in the Bible to denote a place of strength or a fortified city.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Migdol is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, primarily in the context of the Exodus narrative and prophetic literature. It is associated with locations in Egypt and the surrounding regions.<br><br>1. <b><a href="/exodus/14-2.htm">Exodus 14:2</a></b> · In the account of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, Migdol is mentioned as a location near the Red Sea where the Israelites camped before crossing. The Berean Standard Bible states: "Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea; you are to camp by the sea directly opposite Baal-zephon."<br><br>2. <b><a href="/numbers/33-7.htm">Numbers 33:7</a></b> · This verse recounts the journey of the Israelites, mentioning Migdol as a point of reference: "They set out from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, east of Baal-zephon, and camped before Migdol."<br><br>3. <b><a href="/jeremiah/44.htm">Jeremiah 44:1</a></b> · The prophet Jeremiah references Migdol in his message to the Jewish exiles in Egypt: "This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living in the land of Egypt—in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis—and in the land of Pathros."<br><br>4. <b><a href="/jeremiah/46-14.htm">Jeremiah 46:14</a></b> · Migdol is again mentioned in a prophecy against Egypt: "Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it also in Memphis and Tahpanhes: 'Take your positions and get ready, for the sword devours those around you.'"<br><br>5. <b><a href="/ezekiel/29-10.htm">Ezekiel 29:10</a></b> · The prophet Ezekiel includes Migdol in his prophecy against Egypt, marking the extent of the land's desolation: "Therefore, behold, I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt a ruin and a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush."<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b> <br>Migdol is believed to have been a strategic military and trade location in ancient Egypt, serving as a watchtower or fortress. Its exact location is debated among scholars, but it is generally thought to be in the northeastern part of the Nile Delta, near the modern Suez Canal. The references to Migdol in the context of the Exodus suggest it was near the route taken by the Israelites as they fled from Pharaoh's army.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>In the biblical narrative, Migdol represents a place of transition and divine intervention. It is a site where God's power and protection are demonstrated, particularly in the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea. The mention of Migdol in prophetic literature underscores God's sovereignty over nations and His ability to bring judgment upon them.<br><br><b>Cultural and Symbolic Aspects:</b> <br>As a "tower" or "fortress," Migdol symbolizes strength and defense. In the biblical context, it serves as a reminder of God's role as a protector and deliverer of His people. The repeated mention of Migdol in prophecies against Egypt highlights the futility of relying on human fortifications in the face of divine judgment.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While the precise location of Migdol remains uncertain, its significance in the biblical narrative is clear. It serves as a testament to God's deliverance and judgment, illustrating the themes of protection, transition, and divine sovereignty throughout Scripture.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Migdol</span><p>a tower<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Migdol</span><p>(<i>tower</i>), the name of one of two places on the eastern frontier of Egypt. <ol> <li>A Migdol is mentioned int he account of the exodus, (<a href="/exodus/14-2.htm">Exodus 14:2</a>; <a href="/numbers/33-7.htm">Numbers 33:7,8</a>) near the head of the Red Sea.</li> <li>A Migdol is spoken of by Jeremiah and Ezekiel.

Exodus 14:2; Numbers 33:7:<br><br>In <a href="/exodus/14-2.htm">Exodus 14:2</a> <a href="/numbers/33-7.htm">Numbers 33:7</a>, the Hebrew camp, on the march from Etham after they had "turned" (apparently to the South), is defined as `facing Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon.' It is thus to be sought (see EXODUS) West of the Bitter Lakes, and may have been a watchtower on the spur of Jebel 'Ataqah. Israel was supposed to be "entangled in the land," and shut in in the "wilderness," between this range and the Bitter Lakes, then forming the head of the Red Sea. The exact site is unknown. In about 385 A.D., Silvia, traveling from Clysma (Suez), was shown the sites above mentioned on her way to Heroopolis, but none of these names now survive.<br><br>2. Jeremiah 44:1; 46:14:<br><br>In <a href="/jeremiah/44-1.htm">Jeremiah 44:1</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/46-14.htm">Jeremiah 46:14</a>, a Migdol is noticed with Memphis, and with Tahpanhes Septuagint "Taphnas"), this latter being supposed to be the Daphnai of Greek writers, now Tell Defeneh, West of Qantarah. The same place is probably intended in <a href="/ezekiel/29-10.htm">Ezekiel 29:10</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/30-6.htm">Ezekiel 30:6</a> (compare 30:15-18), the borders of Egypt being defined as reaching "from Migdol to Syene" (see the Revised Version margin), as understood by the Septuagint translators. The Antonine Itinerary places Migdol 12 miles South of Pelusium, and the site appears to have been at or near Tell es Samut, the Egyptian name, according to Brugsch (Hist, II, 351), being Samut. This Migdol was thus apparently a "watchtower" on the main road along the coast from Palestine, which is called (<a href="/exodus/13-17.htm">Exodus 13:17</a>) "the way of the land of the Philistines," entering Egypt near Daphnai.<br><br>These Sites Not Identical.<br><br>We are specially told that this was not the route taken at the exodus, and this Migdol cannot therefore be the same as (1), though Brugsch, in consequence of a theory as to the exodus which has not been accepted by other scholars, has confused the two sites, as apparently does the Antonine Itinerary when placing Pithom on the same route leading to Zoan. Brugsch (Geography, III, 19) supposes the Egyptian town name Pa-Ma'kal (with the determinative for "wall" added) to stand for Migdol, but the prefix "Pa-" ("city") seems to show that this word is purely native, and not Semitic, to say nothing of philological objections. This town may, however, have lain in the required direction, according to a scribe's report of the time of Seti II (or about 1230 B.C.).<br><br>As much confusion has been created by quoting this report as illustrative of the exodus, the actual words according to Brugsch's translation may be given (History, II, 132): "I set out from the hall of the royal palace on the 9th day of Epiphi, in the evening, after the two servants. I arrived at the fortress Thuku (T-k-u) on the 10th of Epiphi. I was informed that the men had resolved to take their way toward the South. On the 12th I reached Khetam. There I was informed that grooms who had come from the neighborhood (of the "sedge city") reported that the fugitives had already passed the rampart (Anbu or "wall"), to the North of the Ma'ktal of King Seti Minepthah." As to the position of this "wall," see SHUR.<br><br>C. R.
