Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

מִגְדּוֹל & מִגְדֹּל [Migdol], pr. name of a town of Lower Egypt, Jeremiah 44:1, 46:14 situated in the most northern part of the boundaries of Egypt, Ezekiel 29:10, 30:6 we are not to regard as different from this, Exodus 14:2; Numbers 33:7 (see Thes. p. 268). This name is written in Egyptian ⲙⲉϣⲧⲱⲗ (abundance of hills), which as a foreign name the Hebrews appear to have changed into מִגְדֹּל (tower); see Champollion, l’Egypte sous les Pharaons, ii. page 79.
