Senses in use

  1. Proper name in personal and family identification · dominant

    Tagged as a proper noun, the form identifies people within genealogies: in 1 Chronicles 9:12 the APB renders Adaiah’s ancestry as including “son of Pashhur,” while Ezra 2:38 renders a numbered group as “The sons of Pashhur.” In Jeremiah 20:1, Jeremiah 20:2, and Jeremiah 20:3, the APB presents Pashhur as the priestly overseer who hears Jeremiah, strikes him, and later brings him out of the stocks; Jeremiah 21:1 identifies another bearer as “Pashhur son of Malchijah.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB generally presents the proper name as “Pashhur,” whether identifying an individual or the group called “sons of Pashhur.” In Nehemiah 10:4, the APB’s short list does not visibly isolate the term’s contribution, consistent with the translation not being one-to-one.
