pânîym · paw-neem' · noun · “face, presence”
Panim (sempre al plurale) significa volto o presenza — una delle immagini bibliche più calde della vicinanza di Dio. La benedizione sacerdotale chiede che Dio faccia risplendere il suo volto su di noi.

Panim covers the face, and so by extension someone’s presence — to be “before the face” of another is to be in their presence. The word is always plural in form, perhaps because a face shows many sides.
It anchors some of Scripture’s tenderest words. God speaks to Moses “face to face” (panim el-panim); the priestly blessing asks that the LORD’s face shine on his people; the deepest hope of the Psalms is to “seek God’s face.”
Definition: the face (as the part that turns); used in a great variety of applications (literally and figuratively); also (with prepositional prefix) as a preposition (before, etc.)
