This article explores toponyms by analysing the early route of Exodus: Migdol, Baal-zephon, and Pi-Hahiroth. Many studies have discussed the locations of the three sites. However, there is no consensus regarding where those spots are. This article thus attempts to interpret the implied senses behind those words etymologically and theologically.
Israel was once under the tyranny of Pharaoh but after Israel became free, a tent was set up between Migdol and Baal-zephon, also known as ‘the front of Pi-Hahiroth’. These sites are stated in the Book of Numbers as the third night, yet in the Book of Exodus, it is not clearly stated. The author of Exodus might have had a purpose of not clarifying the chronological order. Unfortunately, the three designations cannot be pointed on the maps. Then why would the author of the Book of Exodus pass down and mention unidentifiable sites? This is because Migdol, Pi-Hahiroth, and Baal-zephon are used symbolically in the Book of Exodus.
The word, Mesopotamia means ‘between two rivers’ while Exodus refers to ‘in between Migdol and Baal-zephon’. As the Mesopotamian civilization prospered in between Euphrates and Tigris, Yahwism flourished among the Israelites in between Migdol and Baal-zephon. That place is the entrance of freedom, ‘Pi-Hahiroth’. Even though Israel was an Exodus community that had become free, her freedom was limited. On the one hand, there was Migdol which would exploit and violate them, while on the other hand, there was Baal-zephon which would lure their freedom to subordinate Israel. Would Pharaoh have known about this? As Israel escaped from Egypt, he said, “They are wandering aimlessly in the land; the wilderness has closed in on them” (Exo 14:3). The only place Israel could enjoy and feel free was in between Migdol and Baal-zephon, that is, the space between the oppression of an empire and the temptation of Baal.
