migdol - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

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