耶利米书 20:1 CUVS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1-6

The broken pot (19:1-20:6)In another acted parable Jeremiah, carrying an earthenware pot in his hand, took the leaders of Jerusalem to a place outside the city walls where old pottery was dumped. This was in the valley where the Judeans once sacrificed their children to Molech and carried out other pagan rites (19:1-2; see 7:30-34 and section, ‘Tophet and the Valley of Hinnom’).Through their leaders, the people of Judah are told that in this valley, where they have killed their children, they... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 20:1

JEREMIAH 20JEREMIAH IMPRISONEDThis brings us near the end of Jeremiah's tragic ministry to Apostate Judah at a time nearing the very end of that ministry of warning and vain calls for the repentance and reform of the people. There are two division of the chapter. First, there is the episode of Jeremiah's imprisonment and the symbolical name that God fastened upon his oppressor (Jeremiah 20:1-6), and then there is the fifth and final one of the so-called Confessions or Personal Laments of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 20:1

Jeremiah 20:1. Now Pashur, the son of Immer— Pashur was not the immediate son of Immer, but of Melchiah, as it is expressly mentioned in 1Ch 9:12 and hereafter, chap. Jeremiah 21:1. Immer was one of his predecessors, and head of the sixteenth sacerdotal class; 1 Chronicles 24:14. Pashur was not high-priest, as some of the ancients have thought, but captain or overseer of the temple. In this capacity, he had power to arrest and put in prison the false prophets, and those who caused any... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 20:1

1. 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 ( :-). This Pashur is distinct from Pashur, son of Melchiah (Jeremiah 21:1). The "captains" (Luke 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... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 20:1-2

When Pashhur, who was the leading priest responsible for the oversight of the temple, heard Jeremiah’s words, he ordered him beaten and imprisoned in stocks that stood near the Benjamin Gate. This gate was evidently the new gate into the inner temple courtyard that King Jotham had constructed (cf. 2 Kings 15:35). It provided an entrance from the north, in which direction the tribal territory of Benjamin lay. Consequently many people would have seen Jeremiah there."The ’stocks,’ where the... read more

The broken jar object lesson 19:1-20:6This message to the people involved another symbolic act (cf. Jeremiah 13:1-11). This incident may have occurred between 609 and 605 B.C."In ch. 18 God explains to Jeremiah that sovereign grace is able to take the marred vessel (Israel) and remake it a vessel of usefulness (Jeremiah 19:4). But to the elders, in ch. 19, the prophet declares that their generation will be irreparably destroyed like a smashed fragile vessel, and the fragments taken to Babylon.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 20:1-18

1-6. Pashur’s act and Jeremiah’s reply.2. Pashur] In chapter Jeremiah 38:1 two Pashurs are mentioned. This one is perhaps the father of Gedaliah there spoken of, while Pashur the son of Malchiah of that v. is probably identical with the Pashur of Jeremiah 21:1. The houses represented by both men were strong in numbers amongst the few priestly courses that returned from Babylon (Ezra 2:36-39).3.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 20:1

XX.(1) Pashur the son of Immer.—The description must be remembered as distinguishing him from the son of Melchiah of the same name in Jeremiah 21:1. We may probably identify him with the father of the Gedaliah named in Jeremiah 38:1 as among the “princes” that at a later date opposed the prophet’s work, and with the section of the priesthood, the sixteenth, named in 1 Chronicles 24:14, as headed in the time of David by Immer. The name here (like that of “the sons of Korah”) may indicate simply... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 20:1-18

The Deceptions of God Jeremiah 20:7 I. There are times when we are ready to say that God deceives us. Think of the ideals of our childhood. It is one of the sweet illusions of the child that father or mother has neither fault nor flaw. 1. Think again of the deceptions of the senses. If there is one thing that seems above dispute, it is that this earth of ours is fixed and firm. 2. Think once again of how God fulfils His promises. One thing certain is that when Abraham was called from Ur, he... read more
