Bible Person

Pashur

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

This Pashur entry refers to the priest sent by King Zedekiah to Jeremiah in Jeremiah 21:1, not to the father of Gedaliah or the covenant signer in Nehemiah 10:3. He belongs to the final crisis of Judah before Jerusalem's fall. First appears in Jer 21:1.1

AI summary: This Pashur matters because his single cross reference places him in the desperate royal search for divine help at the moment judgment is closing in. The entry highlights the tension between outward religious appeal and the hard prophetic word Jeremiah must deliver. Taken together, the material presents this Pashur as a priest involved in Judah's last appeals before destruction.1
