•MIGDOL tower. (1.) A strongly-fortified place 12 miles from Pelusium, in the north of Egypt (Jeremiah 44:1; 46:14). This word is rendered “tower” in 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 (Exodus 14:2; Numbers 33:7, 8). It is probably to be identified with Bir Suweis, about 2 miles from Suez.
•MIGRON precipice or landslip, a place between Aiath and Michmash (Isaiah 10:28). The town of the same name mentioned in 1 Samuel 14:2 was to the south of this.
•MIKLOTH staves. (1.) An officer under Dodai, in the time of David and Solomon (1 Chronicles 27:4).
(2.) A Benjamite (1 Chronicles 8:32; 9:37, 38).
