Migdal-el — The modern name Mejdel is the same as the Hebrew Migdal, and the Greek Magdala of the New Testament, chiefly known as the native town of Mary Magdalene. Magdala is a miserable little Moslem village on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. [But Migdal-el seems from the grouping of these cities to have been, not near the Sea of Galilee, but in the north or northwest part of the tribe. Its location cannot at present be decided. Beth-shemesh cannot be the same as that in Jos_19:41 and Jos_15:10. Some have thought it might be Medjel-esh-shems, a few miles northeast of Cesarea Philippi, and a little north of Lake Phiala.]
