Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Pashur--compounded of two roots, meaning "largeness (and so 'security') on every side"; in antithesis to Magor-missabib, "terror round about" (Jer 20:10; Jer 6:25; Jer 46:5; Jer 49:29; Psa 31:13). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Magor-missabib - See Jer 6:25 note. Jeremiah uses it no less than five times, having probably adopted it as his watchword from Psa 31:13. |
The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
Magormissabib
That is, Terror on every side. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Not called - God's meaning was, not that he should by men be no longer called Pashur, but that his condition should not answer that name Pashur, which signifies, a flourishing priest; but Magor - missabib, that is, fear and terror on all sides. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur - Security on all sides. This name thou hast had, but not by Divine appointment.
But Magor-missabib - Fear on every side. This name hath God given thee; because, in the course of his providence, thou shalt be placed in the circumstances signified by it: thou shalt be a terror to thyself. |

29 Their tents [0168] and their flocks [06629] shall they take away [03947]: they shall take [05375] to themselves their curtains [03407], and all their vessels [03627], and their camels [01581]; and they shall cry [07121] unto them, Fear [04032] is on every side [05439].

25 Go not forth [03318] into the field [07704], nor walk [03212] by the way [01870]; for the sword [02719] of the enemy [0341] and fear [04032] is on every side [05439].

All my familiars [0582] [07965] watched [08104] for my halting [06763] [06761], saying, Peradventure he will be enticed [06601], and we shall prevail [03201] against him, and we shall take [03947] our revenge [05360] on him.
