Genesis 35:21

35:21 Then Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

Genesis 43:10

43:10 But if we had not delayed, we could have traveled there and back twice by now!”


sn The location of Migdal Eder is not given. It appears to be somewhere between Bethlehem and Hebron. Various traditions have identified it as at the shepherds’ fields near Bethlehem (the Hebrew name Migdal Eder means “tower of the flock”; see Mic 4:8) or located it near Solomon’s pools.

tn Heb “we could have returned.”
