Ezekiel 29:10

Ezekiel 30:6

(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) 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 Midgol was an important town.
