耶利米书 20:1 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1-6

Here is, I. Pashur's unjust displeasure against Jeremiah, and the fruits of that displeasure, Jer. 20:1, 2. This Pashur was a priest, and therefore, one would think, should have protected Jeremiah, who was of his own order, a priest too, and the more because he was a prophet of the Lord, whose interests the priests, his ministers, ought to consult. But this priest was a persecutor of him whom he should have patronized. He was the son of Immer; that is, he was of the sixteenth course of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1

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... read more

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

Verse 1 Jeremiah relates here what sort of reward he had received for his prophecy, — that he had been smitten and cast into prison, not by the king or by his courtiers, but by a priest who had the care of the Temple. It was a grievous and bitter trial when God’s servant found that he was thus cruelly treated by one of the sacred order, who was of the same tribe, and his colleague; for the priests who were then in office had not been without right appointed, for God had chosen them. As, then,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1

The continuation of the preceding narrative. Pashur the son of Trainer. This man belonged to the sixteenth of the sacerdotal families or classes ( 1 Chronicles 24:14 ). Another of the same name is referred to in Jeremiah 21:1 (see note). The one here mentioned was "chief overseer" (there were several inferior overseers, 2 Chronicles 31:13 ); the eminence of the position appears from the fact that Zephaniah, Pashur's successor ( Jeremiah 29:26 ), is second only to the high priest... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1-3

The behavior of the wicked towards the truth. I. THEY REGARD THE TRUTH AND ITS MINISTERS AS THEIR GREATEST ENEMIES . If Pashur had known better he would have refrained from such exhibitions of temper. The prophet would then have been accounted the greatest benefactor of his country. Not the soldier on the battlefield nor the statesman in the councils of empire could have rendered so signal a service as Jeremiah did in simply but persistently telling the truth. Much... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1-6

Pashur. At length the smoldering opposition to Jeremiah breaks out into open persecution. Hitherto, though he has been answered by words ( Jeremiah 18:18 ) and threatened with violence, no overt act has been committed. Secret enemies have elaborated dark designs, which are alarming enough but come to no serious issue. But now violent hands are laid upon the prophet; and it is not an obscure band of illegal conspirators who contrive evil against him, but the official head of the temple... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 20:1-6

A changed name and a dreadful doom. The change here, from Pashur to Magor-Missabib, reminds us of other divinely indicated changes of name in Scripture; e.g. from Abram to Abraham, from Jacob to Israel, from Simon to Peter, from Zacharias to John. These changes, however, were indicative of advancement and honor; were suggestive of the rise out of nature into grace. But here is a name which becomes at once the memorial of great wickedness and of the sure judgment following upon it. I. ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 20:1

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... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 20:1

Jeremiah 20:1. Pashur the son of Immer Pashur was not the immediate son of Immer, but of Melchiah, as is expressly mentioned 1 Chronicles 9:12, and hereafter, 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 only 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
