1. Penuel / Peniel (proper name) — The proper noun Penuel (פְּנוּאֵל), meaning 'face of God,' refers both to the place where Jacob wrestled with God (Gen 32:31, spelled Peniel) and to the city in Transjordan near the Jabbok associated with Gideon's campaigns and later fortification. The variant spelling Peniel (S127817) is the same toponym in its original Genesis naming narrative. The ketiv form (S127820) is likewise the same name in a textual variant. All translations confirm a single referent: English 'Penuel/Peniel,' Spanish 'Penuel/Peniel,' Hindi 'Panuel/Paniel' (पनूएल/पनीएल), Arabic 'Fanuyil/Faniyil' (فَنُوئِيل/فَنِيئِيلَ), Korean 'Beunuel/Beuniel' (브누엘/브니엘), Swahili 'Penueli/Penieli.' These are orthographic variants, not distinct senses. 10×
