| <p> We meet with mention of this place, Joshua 19:38. The meaning of the name is very plain, from Migdol, tower—and El, God, the tower of God. </p> | |

| <p> ''''' mig´dal ''''' - ''''' el ''''' ( מגדּל־אל , <i> ''''' mighdal ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' 'ēl ''''' </i> ; [[Codex]] Vaticanus Μεγαλααρείμ , <i> ''''' Megalaareı́m ''''' </i> ; Codex Alexandrinus Μαγδαλιηωράμ , <i> ''''' Magdaliēōrám ''''' </i> ): The name, which means "tower of God," occurs between [[Iron]] and [[Horem]] in the list of the fenced cities of [[Naphtali]] ( Joshua 19:38 ). Eusebius, <i> Onomasticon </i> places it 9 miles from [[Dora]] ( <i> '''''Ṭanṭūrah''''' </i> ), on the way to Ptolemais, which points to <i> '''''Athlı̄t''''' </i> . But this is far from the territory of Naphtali. It is probably to be identified with either <i> '''''Khirbet''''' </i> <i> '''''Mejdel''''' </i> , 3 miles North of <i> '''''Ḳedes''''' </i> , or <i> '''''Mejdel''''' </i> <i> '''''Islim''''' </i> , 5 miles farther to the Northwest. </p>

| <p> (Heb. Migdal'-El, מַגְדִּלאּאֵל, tower of God; Sept. Μαγδαλιήλ v.r. Μαγδαλιηωράμ or Μεγαλααρίμ), a fortified city of the tribe of [[Naphtali]] (Joshua 19:38), "named between [[Iron]] and Horem, possibly deriving its name from some ancient tower the tower, of El, or God." By [[Eusebius]] (Onomasticon, Μαγδιήλ ) it is spoken of as a large village lying between [[Dora]] (Tantura) and [[Ptolemais]] (Akka), at nine miles from the former, that is, just about Athlit, the ancient ‘ Castellum peregrinorum.' No doubt the Castellum was anciently a migdol or tower; but it is impossible to locate a town of Naphtali below Carmel, and at least twenty-five miles from the boundaries of the tribe. It may, however, have been the Magdalum named by [[Herodotus]] (2:159) as the site of [[Pharaoh]] Necho's victory over [[Josiah]] (see Rawlinson's Herod. 2:246, note). But this was not the only [[Migdol]] along this coast. If the modern Hurah is [[Horem]] and Yarun Iron, there is a possibility in finding Migdal-el in Mujeidel, at no great distance from them, namely, on the left bank of the [[Wady]] Kerkerah, eight miles due east of the Ras en-Nakurah, six miles west of Hurah and eight of Yarun (see [[Van]] de Velde's Map, 1858)." The enumeration of the towns in the above passage of Joshua, however, favors the connection of this name with the preceding as one, i.e., Migdal- el-Horem, as in the Sept. In any case the present Migdal is probably the MAGDALA (See [[Magdala]]) (q.v.) of the New Test. (Matthew 15:39), which lay within the limits of Naphtali (q.v.). </p>
