Bible Person

Pashur

Meaning: that extends or multiplies the hole; whiteness · Male · 1 cross reference

This Pashur entry refers to the father of Gedaliah in Jeremiah 38:1, not to the priestly or prophetic-era figure in Jeremiah 21:1 or the covenant signer in Nehemiah 10:3. He belongs to the family background of officials opposing Jeremiah late in Judah's collapse. First appears in Jer 38:1.1

AI summary: This Pashur matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of one of the officials who pressures Zedekiah against Jeremiah. Even a brief paternal notice helps root that political opposition in remembered households. Taken together, the material presents this Pashur as a familial source in the circle resisting Jeremiah.1
