JEREMIAH'S INCARCERATION BY PASHUR, THE PRINCIPAL OFFICER OF THE TEMPLE, FOR PROPHESYING WITHIN ITS PRECINCTS; HIS RENEWED PREDICTIONS AGAINST THE CITY, etc., ON HIS LIBERATION. (Jer. 20:1-18)
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 (I Chronicles 24:14). 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 delinquents [GROTIUS] (Jeremiah 26:8, Jeremiah 26:10, Jeremiah 26:16).
