Town in the south of Egypt, bordering on Ethiopia. Ezekiel 29:10; Ezekiel 30:6 . The expression, 'from the tower of Syene,' is better translated 'from Migdol to Syene,' even unto the border of Ethiopia, as it is in the margin. The word is really SEVENEH, as in the R.V. It is now called Assuan, about 24 N, 33 E.
