<p> Hanan'e-el. (whom God graciously gave). The tower of [[Hananeel]]. A tower which formed part of the wall of Jerusalem, Nehemiah 3:1; Nehemiah 12:39. From these two passages, particularly from the former, it might almost be inferred that [[Hananeel]] was, but another name for the tower of Meah; at any rate, they were close together, and stood between the sheep-gate and the fish-gate. This tower is further mentioned in Jeremiah 31:38. The remaining passage in which it is named, Zechariah 14:10, also connects this tower with the "corner-gate," which lay on the other side of the sheep-gate. </p> | <p> Hanan'e-el.

<p> (Heb. Chananel', חֲנִנְאֵל , which God has graciously given; Sept. Ἀναμεήλ, [[Vulgate]] Hananeel), a tower (מַגְדָּל ) of Jerusalem, situated on the exterior wall beyond the tower of [[Meah]] in going from the [[Sheepgate]] towards the Fish-gate (Nehemiah 3:1; Nehemiah 12:39). It is also mentioned in Jeremiah 31:38; Zechariah 14:10. Its position appears to have been at the north-eastern corner of the present mosque enclosure (see Strong's | <p> (Heb.

Ἀναμεήλ, [[Vulgate]] Hananeel), a tower ( מַגְדָּל ) of Jerusalem, situated on the exterior wall beyond the tower of [[Meah]] in going from the [[Sheepgate]] towards the Fish-gate ( Nehemiah 3:1; Nehemiah 12:39). It is also mentioned in Jeremiah 31:38; Zechariah 14:10. Its position appears to have been at the north-eastern corner of the present mosque enclosure (see Strong's Harmony and Expos., Append. 2, p. 19). Schwarz (Palest. p. 251) also locates it in this vicinity, but absurdly identifies it with the tower of Hippicus. (See [[Jerusalem]]). [[Gesenius]] (Thes. Heb. s.v.) suggests that it may have been so called from the name of its founder or builder. </p> | ||
