pashhur, pashur (, pashhur, splitter, cleaver): The name of several persons difficult to individuate:<\/p>\n
(1) A priest, son of Immer, and chief governor in the house of the Lord (Jer 20:1), who persecuted Jeremiah, putting him in the stocks hard by the house of Yahweh in the gate of Benjamin (Jer 20:2). When released, Jeremiah pronounced Divine judgment on him and the people. Future captivity and an exile’s death are promised to Pashur whose name he changed from its masterful significance to a cowering one. Terror on every side (maghor missabhbh) is to take the place of stable strength (Jer 20:3 ff).<\/p>\n
(2) Son of Melchiah, a prince of Judah, and one of the delegation sent by Zedekiah, the king, to consult Jeremiah (Jer 21:1). It looks like a larger and later deputation, similarly sent, to which this Pashur belongs, whose record is given in Jer 38:1-13. Accompanying them was one, Gedaliah, who was a son of (3).<\/p>\n
(3) Another Pashur (Jer 38:1), who may be the person mentioned in 1Ch 9:12; Neh 11:12.<\/p>\n
(4) A priest, of those who sealed Nehemiah’s covenant (Neh 10:1, Neh 10:3), who may, however, be the same as (5).<\/p>\n
(5) The chief of a priestly family called sons of Pashur (Ezr 2:38; Ezr 10:22; Neh 7:41; 1 Esdras 5:25 (Phassurus, margin Pashhur); 1 Esdras 9:22 (Phaisur, margin Pashhur)). Doubtless it is this Pashur, some of whose sons had strange wives (Ezr 10:22).<\/p>\n
