Penuel

Depiction of Jacob Wrestling with the Angel at Penuel, by Eugène Delacroix.

Penuel (or Pniel, Pnuel; Hebrew: פְּנוּאֵלPənūʾēl) is a place described in the Hebrew Bible as being not far from Succoth, on the east of the Jordan River and south of the river Jabbok in present-day Jordan.

Penuel is mentioned in the Book of Genesis as the site of Jacob's struggle with the angel. In 1 Kings, it is mentioned as a capital for Jeroboam, first king of the northern Kingdom of Israel, which he fortified.
