The lot Asher lay upon the coast of the great sea. We read of only one remarkable person of this tribe, and that was Anna, the prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, a widow of about four-score and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. "Andª it wasª° revealedª° unto himª byª the¹ Holyª Ghost,ª that he should²° notª seeª° death,ª beforeª² he had seenª° the Lord'sª Christ.ª ... Andª sheª°² coming¹ in²° that² instantª¹ gave thanks¹ likewise²° unto the¹ Lord,ª andª spakeª° ofª himª to allª them that looked²° for¹ redemptionª inª Jerusalem.ª" {Lke 2:26-38} |
