JEREMIAH'S INCARCERATION BY PASHUR, THE PRINCIPAL OFFICER OF THE TEMPLE, FOR PROPHESYING WITHIN ITS PRECINCTS; HIS RENEWED PREDICTIONS AGAINST THE CITY, &c., ON HIS LIBERATION. (Jer. 20:1-18)
son--descendant.
of Immer--one of the original "governors of the sanctuary and of the house of God," twenty-four in all, that is, sixteen of the sons of Eleazar and eight of the sons of Ithamar (Ch1 24:14). This Pashur is distinct from Pashur, son of Melchiah (Jer 21:1). The "captains" (Luk 22:4) seem to have been over the twenty-four guards of the temple, and had only the right of apprehending any who were guilty of delinquency within it; but the Sanhedrim had the judicial power over such delinquents [GROTIUS] (Jer 26:8, Jer 26:10, Jer 26:16). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Pashur, the father probably of the Gedaliah mentioned in Jer 38:1, was the head of the 16th course (shift) of priests (marginal reference); the other Pashur Jer 21:1 belonged to the fifth course, the sons of Melchiah. Both these houses returned in great strength from the exile. See Ezr 2:37-38.
Chief governor - Or, "deputy governor." The Nagid or governer of the temple was the high priest Ch1 9:11, and Pashur was his Pakid, i. e., deputy (see Jer 1:10 note). Zephaniah held this office Jer 29:26, and his relation to the high priest is exactly defined Kg2 25:18; Jer 52:24. The Nagid at this time was Seraiah the high priest, the grandson of Hilkiah, or (possibly) Azariah, Hilkiah's son and Jeremiah's brother Ch1 6:13, Ezr 7:1. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Immer - The course of Immer was the sixteenth course of the priests, Ch1 24:14. Pashur was his son, that is descended from him. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Pashur - chief governor - Pashur was probably one of the chief priests of the twenty-four classes. |
16 Then said [0559] the princes [08269] and all the people [05971] unto the priests [03548] and to the prophets [05030]; This man [0376] is not worthy [04941] to die [04194]: for he hath spoken [01696] to us in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430].
