Magdalene has plausibly been linked with Migdal-el (Joshua 19:38), one of the fortified cities in the tribal area of Naphtali. Migdal-el means “Fortress” of God. Mary from Magdala is a tower of God.
What does that mean? Perhaps many things, but it puts one in mind of the descriptions of the Bride in the Song of Songs (4:4; 7:4; 8:10).
