Slaves Escaping into Sinai Are Seen at Migdol
The Papyrus Anastasi V (no.5) circa 1250 BCE speaks of two slaves that escaped from Egypt. It mentions Migdol, one of the Israelite encampments on their way to Mount Sinai.
The Papyrus reads as follows:“I was sent forth from the broad halls of the palace... following after two slaves. When I reached the fortress, they told me that the scout had come from the desert saying that they had passed the walled place north of the Migdol.”
The Bible recounts the Israelites camping in Migdol in The Book of Numbers 33:5-7“The Israelites set out from Rameses… and they encamped before Migdol.”
