This is clear from the fact that Penuel was the first stopping-place after Jacob passed over the river Jabbok, and that every boundary had a spiritual meaning, its distance and position determining its specific meaning, 1585, 1866, 4116, 4240. Accordingly because it was the first boundary, 'Penuel' means when they entered the land of Canaan.
