It is used to denote a specific place in Egypt near the Red Sea, which played a significant role during the Exodus narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: Migdol was a strategic location in ancient Egypt, likely serving as a military outpost or watchtower. Its mention in the context of the Exodus suggests it was a landmark near the route taken by the Israelites as they fled from Pharaoh's army.
