What Does 1 Chronicles 8:25 Mean?
The line of Shashak ends here, capped with the familiar 'the sons of Shashak.' Penuel means 'the face of God,' the name Jacob gave the place where he wrestled with God and lived.
To carry such a name was to remember a holy encounter, a meeting with the living God. The longing to see God's face runs through Scripture and finds its answer in the One who makes the unseen God known. In Him, the face once hidden is turned toward His people in mercy.
1 Chronicles 8:25 in the Original Language
