| 释义 |
Phanuel ({{Lang-el|Φανουήλ}} Phanouēl) or Penuel ({{Lang-he|פְּנוּאֵל}} Pənū’êl) was the father of Anna the prophetess. He is mentioned once only in the New Testament, in {{bibleverse||Luke|2:36|NKJV}}. 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" ({{bibleverse||Genesis|32:30|HE}}).[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 ({{bibleverse||Luke|2:38|NKJV}}).
