Dict: easton - Migdol



easton:



Migdol @ tower.

(1.) A strongly-fortified place 12 miles from Pelusium, in the north of Egypt kjv@Jeremiah:44:1 kjv@Jeremiah:46:14). This word is rendered "tower" in kjv@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 kjv@Exodus:14:2; kjv@Numbers:33:7-8). It is probably to be identified with Bir Suweis, about 2 miles from Suez.
