(36) One Anna, a prophetess.--The fact is in many ways remarkable. We find a woman recognised as a prophetess at a time when no man is recognised as a prophet. She bears the name of the mother of the founder of the School of the Prophets, identical with that which the legends of Apocryphal Gospels assign to the mother of the Virgin. She is named, as if it were a well-known fact, as having been the wife of Phanuel, and she is not of the tribe of Judah, but of Aser. That tribe, then, though belonging to the Ten that had been carried into exile by Shalmaneser (2Kings 17:6), had not been altogether lost. Some, at least, of its members survived and cherished the genealogies of their descent, as one family of the neighbouring tribe of Naphthali are said to have done at Nineveh (Tobit 1:2). In that family also we find the name of Anna (Tobit 1:9). Seven years from her virginity.--The words are emphasised (1) as expressing chastity prior to marriage, and (2) as excluding the thought of a second marriage. Verses 36-38. - Greeting of Anna the prophetess. Verse 36. - There was one Anna, a prophetess. The name of this holy woman is the same as that of the mother of Samuel. It is not necessary to assume that this Anna had the gift of foretelling future events. She was, at all events, a preacher. These saintly, gifted women, though never numerous, were not unknown in the story of the chosen people. We read of the doings - in some cases the very words are preserved - of Miriam, Hannah, Deborah, Huldah, and others. Of the tribe of Aser. It is true that at this period the ten tribes had been long lost, the "Jews" being made up of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin; but yet certain families preserved their genealogies, tracing their descent to one or other of the lost divisions of the people. Thus Anna belonged to Asher.Jump to Previous Advanced Age Anna Aser Asher Daughter Family Great Hearts Husband Life Marriage Married Phanuel Pierce Prophet Prophetess Reasonings Revealed Seven Soul Sword Tribe VirginityJump to Next Advanced Age Anna Aser Asher Daughter Family Great Hearts Husband Life Marriage Married Phanuel Pierce Prophet Prophetess Reasonings Revealed Seven Soul Sword Tribe VirginityLinks Luke 2:36 NIVLuke 2:36 NLT Luke 2:36 ESV Luke 2:36 NASB Luke 2:36 KJV Luke 2:36 Bible Apps Luke 2:36 Biblia Paralela Luke 2:36 Chinese Bible Luke 2:36 French Bible Luke 2:36 German Bible Alphabetical: a advanced after also And Anna Asher daughter had her husband in lived marriage of old Phanuel prophetess seven She the There tribe very was with years NT Gospels: Luke 2:36 There was one Anna a prophetess (Luke Lu Lk) Christian Bible Study Resources, Dictionary, Concordance and Search Tools |
