Genesis 32:30-31
So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
(Literal Biblical translation of the word “Peniel” means “Face of God”)
Judges 8:8
From there he went up to Peniel and made the same request of them, but they answered as the men of Sukkoth had.)

Judges 8:17
He also pulled down the tower of Peniel and killed the men of the town.
1 Kings 12:25
[ Golden Calves at Bethel and Dan ] Then Jeroboam fortified Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. From there he went out and built up Peniel.
Isaiah 44:14
He cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest, or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow.
Hosea 14:8
O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? I will answer him and care for him. I am like a green pine tree; your fruitfulness comes from me.
Matthew 6:22
In another interesting passage, Matthew seems to provide an uncannily similar description of the Third Eye to texts of the Yogic and Hindu spiritual traditions. This verse is also interesting because the Pineal Gland is the only part of the brain that is “single,” not possessing a left and right hemisphere.
"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light."
