Both occurrences use a genitive singular masculine form within the phrase identifying a tribe. In Luke 2:36 the APB renders Anna as being “of the tribe of Asher,” while in Revelation 7:6 it renders a numbered group “from the tribe of Asher.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name in tribal phrases: “of the tribe of Asher” in Luke 2:36 and “from the tribe of Asher” in Revelation 7:6. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
