Migdalel

tower of God

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Migdalel

(tower of God), one of the fortified towns of the possession of Naphtali, (Joshua 19:38) only, possibly deriving its name from some ancient tower --the "tower of El," or God.

Easton's Bible Dictionary
Tower of God, a fortified city of Naphtali (Joshua 19:38), supposed by some to be identical with Magdala (q.v.).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
MIGDAL-EL

mig'-dal-el (mighdal-'el; Codex Vaticanus Megalaareim; Codex Alexandrinus Magdalieoram): 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, Onomasticon places it 9 miles from Dora (Tanturah), on the way to Ptolemais, which points to Athlit. But this is far from the territory of Naphtali. It is probably to be identified with either Khirbet Mejdel, 3 miles North of Qedes, or Mejdel Islim, 5 miles farther to the Northwest.
