STEPBible TIPNR
Migdal-gad is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Joshua 15:37, as one of the towns in the lowlands (Shephelah) of Judah. The name Migdal-gad means "tower of Gad" in Hebrew, possibly referring to a fortified tower or a place of worship dedicated to the Canaanite deity Gad. The verse lists Migdal-gad along with other towns in the region, such as Zenan, Hadashah, and Dilean.
