Pashhur; a priestly name borne by several individuals including Jeremiah's persecutor and post-exilic clan heads.
A personal name appearing across several centuries of Israelite history. The most vivid bearer is Pashhur son of Immer, the chief temple officer who struck and confined Jeremiah, only to receive the devastating prophetic renaming 'Magor-missabib' — Terror on Every Side (Jer 20:1–6). A second Pashhur, son of Malchijah, appears among officials who cast Jeremiah into a cistern (Jer 38:1). The name also designates a priestly family that returned from Babylon (Ezra 2:38; Neh 7:41) and contributed members who had married foreign wives (Ezra 10:22). Spanish and German render the name as 'Pashur/Paschur,' while Greek tradition yields Πασχωρ.

1. Pashhur (proper name) — The proper name Pashhur (פַּשְׁחוּר), designating multiple individuals in prophetic and post-exilic literature. Transliterations across languages — English 'Pashhur,' Spanish 'Pashur,' French/German 'Paschur,' Greek Πασχωρ — show consistent phonetic adaptation. The name's primary narrative weight falls on Jeremiah's antagonist (Jer 20:1–6), but it also heads a major returning priestly clan (Ezra 2:38 = Neh 7:41), making it both a personal and genealogical identifier. 14×
