In the land of Egypt. This message from God probably came a few years after the events of ch. 43 took place (see on ch. 44:15). The three cities named were undoubtedly places where the emigrants from Judea settled.

Migdol. Perhaps Tell el-Heir, a town about 6 1/4 mi. (10 km.) south of Pelusium.

Tahpanhes, ... Noph. See on ch. 2:16.

Pathros. A region or country, not a city. It was a general name for southern, or Upper, Egypt (see Vol. III, p. 81).
