Pashhur Will Be Captured

20 Pashhur son of Immer was a priest and the ·highest [chief] officer in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord. When he heard Jeremiah prophesying these things, ² he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten. And he ·locked [put] Jeremiah in stocks [^Cwooden restraints] at the Upper Gate of Benjamin of the Lord’s Temple. ³ The next day when Pashhur ·took [released] Jeremiah ·out of the blocks of wood [from the stocks], Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord’s name for you is not Pashhur. Now his name for you is Magor-Missabib [^C“Terror on Every Side”].
