Hananel, a tower on the north wall of Jerusalem between the Sheep Gate and the Fish Gate
A place name meaning 'God is gracious,' referring to a prominent tower on Jerusalem's northern fortifications. It appears in prophetic and post-exilic contexts: Jeremiah envisions the rebuilt city measured from the Tower of Hananel (Jer 31:38), Zechariah describes the eschatological leveling of Jerusalem's terrain from this tower to the king's winepresses (Zech 14:10), and Nehemiah records its reconstruction alongside the Sheep Gate (Neh 3:1; 12:39).

1. sense 1 — A named tower (migdal) on Jerusalem's northern wall, serving as a landmark in descriptions of the city's perimeter. In Nehemiah's rebuilding account (Neh 3:1; 12:39) it is consecrated alongside the Sheep Gate, while in prophetic visions (Jer 31:38; Zech 14:10) it marks the limit of the restored or transformed city. Spanish and French renderings vary between 'Hananeel,' 'Hananel,' and 'Jananel,' all preserving the theophoric element El. 4×
