Contextual Overview

1 When Phashur the priest the sonne of Emmer, chiefe in the house of the Lorde, hearde Ieremie preache these wordes [so stedfastly] 2 He smote Ieremie, and put hym in the prison that is in the hye gate of Beniamin towardes the house of the Lorde. 3 The next day folowing Phashur brought Ieremie out of the prison agayne: Then saide Ieremie vnto him, The Lorde shall call thee no more Phashur [that is excellent and increasing] but Magor [that is fearefull and afraide] euery where. 4 For thus saith the Lorde: Beholde, I wil make thee afraide, euen thy selfe, and all that fauour thee, which shall perishe with the sworde of their enemies, euen before thy face, and I wyll geue whole Iuda into the hands of the king of Babylon, whiche shall cary some vnto Babylon prisoners, and slay some with the sworde. 5 Moreouer, all the substaunce of this citie, whatsoeuer they haue gotten with their trauaile, all their precious thinges, & all the treasure of the kinges of Iuda, wyll I geue into the handes of their enemies, whiche shall spoyle them, and cary them vnto Babylon. 6 But as for thee (O Phashur) thou shalt go into captiuitie with all thyne housholde, and to Babylon shalt thou come, where thou shalt dye and be buried, thou and all thy fauourers to whom thou hast preached lies.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest,.... Not the immediate son of Immer, but one that descended from him after many generations; for Immer was a priest in David's time, to whom the sixteenth course of the priests fell by lot, 1 Chronicles 24:14;

who [was] also chief governor in the house of the Lord; the temple; not the high priest, since he was of the course of Immer; perhaps he was the head of the course to which he belonged, the chief of the priests of that course. The Targum calls him the "sagan" of the priests. There was such an officer, who was called the "sagan" or deputy to the high priest, who upon certain occasions acted for him; and some think that this man was in the same office; though others take him to be the same with the captain of the temple, Acts 4:1. Who

heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things; some that heard him in the court of the temple prophesying of the evil that should come upon the city, and places adjacent to it, went and told the chief governor of it. Though the words may be rendered, "now Pashur heard u----Jeremiah prophesying these things"; he heard him himself; either he was one of the ancients of the priests that went with him to Tophet, and heard him there; or, however, when he came from thence, and stood and prophesied in the court of the temple, he heard him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Pashur, the father probably of the Gedaliah mentioned in Jeremiah 38:1, was the head of the 16th course (shift) of priests (marginal reference); the other Pashur Jeremiah 21:1 belonged to the fifth course, the sons of Melchiah. Both these houses returned in great strength from the exile. See Ezra 2:37-38.

Chief governor - Or, “deputy governor.” The Nagid or governer of the temple was the high priest 1 Chronicles 9:11, and Pashur was his Pakid, i. e., deputy (see Jeremiah 1:10 note). Zephaniah held this office Jeremiah 29:26, and his relation to the high priest is exactly defined 2 Kings 25:18; Jeremiah 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 1 Chronicles 6:13, Ezra 7:1.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XX

Jeremiah, on account of his prophesying evil concerning Judah

and Jerusalem, is beaten and imprisoned by Pashur, chief

governor of the temple, 1, 2.

On the following day the prophet is released, who denounces the

awful judgments of God which should fall upon the governor and

all his house, as well as upon the whole land of Judah, in the

approaching Babylonish captivity, 3-6.

Jeremiah then bitterly complains of the reproaches continually

heaped upon him by his enemies; and, in his haste, resolves to

speak no more in the name of Jehovah; but the word of the Lord

is in his heart as a burning flame, so that he is not able to

forbear, 7-10.

The prophet professes his trust in God, whom he praises for his

late deliverance, 11-13.

The remaining verses, which appear to be out of their place,

contain Jeremiah's regret that he was ever born to a life of so

much sorrow and trouble, 14-18.

This complaint resembles that of Job; only it is milder and

more dolorous. This excites our pity, that our horror. Both are

highly poetical, and embellished with every circumstance that

can heighten the colouring. But such circumstances are not

always to be too literally understood or explained. We must

often make allowances for the strong figures of eastern poetry.

NOTES ON CHAP. XX

Verse Jeremiah 20:1. Pashur - chief governor — Pashur was probably one of the chief priests of the twenty-four classes.
