STEPBible TIPNR
Pethuel is mentioned in the Bible as the father of the prophet Joel (Jol 1:1). No other information is provided about Pethuel's life, occupation, or lineage. His name means "vision of God" or "sincerity of God," which may suggest that he was a devout man. As the father of a prophet, it is possible that Pethuel played a role in Joel's spiritual upbringing and influenced his son's devotion to God. However, the Bible does not provide any further details about their relationship or Pethuel's life.
