<p> <strong> PASHHUR. 1. </strong> A son of Malchiah, a prince of Judæa in the time of Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 21:1 ), who was opposed to the prophet ( Jeremiah 38:1-13 ). [[Perhaps]] he is the father of [[Gedaliah]] ( Jeremiah 38:1 ), and likely identical with Pashhur, mentioned in 1 Chronicles 9:12 , Nehemiah 11:12 , as the ancestor of Adalah. <strong> 2 </strong> . The son of Immer, a [[Temple]] official and priest, who caused Jeremiah to be beaten and put in the stocks after he had predicted the fall of Jerusalem. The prophet told him his name was not [[Pashhur]] (probably ‘peace,’ lit. ‘staying on every side’) but <strong> [[Magormissabib]] </strong> (‘terror [or perhaps wandering] round about’), and added that he would die in [[Babylon]] ( Jeremiah 20:1-6 ). Perhaps he was the father of Gedaliah ( Jeremiah 38:1 ). <strong> 3 </strong> . The father of the Gedaliah mentioned in Jeremiah 38:1 , and may be either <strong> 1 </strong> or <strong> 2 </strong> , or neither. <strong> 4 </strong> . The head of a priestly family, ‘the sons of Pashhur’ mentioned in Ezra 2:38 , Nehemiah 7:41 , Ezra 10:22 , 1Es 5:25 ( <strong> [[Phassurus]] </strong> ) Esther 9:22 Esther 9:22 ( <strong> [[Phaisur]] </strong> ). <strong> 5 </strong> . A priest who signed the covenant with Nehemiah, probably identical with <strong> 4 </strong> , or used of the clan as a whole ( Nehemiah 10:3 ). </p> <p> W. F. Boyo. </p>
