Migdol (mĭg'dol), tower. 1. A place near the head of the Red Sea. Exodus 14:2, Numbers 33:7, Numbers 8:2. A fortified city in the northern limits of Egypt toward Palestine. Jeremiah 44:1, Jeremiah 46:14. This name is rendered "tower" in the phrase "from the tower of Syene," R. V. reads "Seveneh," Ezekiel 29:10, Ezekiel 30:6; but the margin correctly has "from Migdol to Syene"—i.e., Syene the most southern border of Egypt, and Migdol the most northern.
