Jeremiah 20:3-5. Jeremiah said, The Lord hath not called Rather, doth not call thy name Pashur; but Magor-missabib That is, Terror on every side, or, Terror to all around, as the name is explained in the next verse. God’s giving him this name: signifies his changing the circumstances or condition of the person so named, agreeably to the meaning of the name given him, or that he would render him such as he called him. So when God called Abram by the new name of Abraham, he assigns... read more

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

3. Pashur—compounded of two roots, meaning "largeness (and so 'security') on every side"; in antithesis to Magor-missabib, "terror round about" (Jeremiah 20:10; Jeremiah 6:25; Jeremiah 46:5; Jeremiah 49:29; Psalms 31:13). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 20:1-6

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 20:3

Jeremiah’s confinement only lasted one day. Following his release, the prophet gave Pashhur a new name that had prophetic significance: Magomassibib, meaning "terror on every side" (cf. Jeremiah 6:25; Psalms 31:13). His old name means either "ease" or "tranquility." Perhaps this name reflected his natural disposition. 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. Magormissabib] i.e. ’fear is on every side’: see on Jeremiah 6:25. The name is symbolic of his coming... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 20:3

(3) Magor-missabib.—The words are a quotation from Psalms 31:13, and are rightly rendered, “Fear is round about;” they had already been used by the prophet in Jeremiah 6:25. We may venture to think that the Psalm had been his comfort in those night-watches of suffering, and that he now uttered the words which described the bitterness of the Psalmist’s sorrow, as at last feeling sure that they belonged to his persecutor rather than to himself. It is scarcely necessary to seek a special... 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
