Phanuel
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "about".
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Phanuel (Template:Langx Phanouēl) or Penuel (Template:Langx Pənū’êl) was the father of Anna the prophetess. He is mentioned once only in the New Testament, in Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".. He was a member of the Tribe of Asher and his name means "Face of God".
Theologian John Gill supposed that "this man might be a person of some note, or he may be mentioned for the sake of his name, which signifies the face of God, and is the name Jacob gave to a certain place where he had seen God face to face" (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".).[1] As Anna was herself 'very old', it can be assumed that Phanuel was not still alive at the time of Anna's encounter with the child Jesus in the Temple (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".).
