Jérémie 20:1 Meaning and 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 calls him the "sagan" of the priests. There was such an officer, who was called the "sagan" or deputy to the high priest, who upon certain occasions acted for him; and some think that this man was in the same office; though others take him to be the same with the captain of the temple, ( Acts 4:1 ) . Who heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things;
some that heard him in the court of the temple prophesying of the evil that should come upon the city, and places adjacent to it, went and told the chief governor of it. Though the words may be rendered, "now Pashur heard ^F21----Jeremiah prophesying these things"; he heard him himself; either he was one of the ancients of the priests that went with him to Tophet, and heard him there; or, however, when he came from thence, and stood and prophesied in the court of the temple, he heard him.

Jérémie 20:1 In-Context

1 Paschhur, fils d'Immer, sacrificateur et inspecteur en chef dans la maison de l'Eternel, entendit Jérémie qui prophétisait ces choses.

2 Et Paschhur frappa Jérémie, le prophète, et le mit dans la prison qui était à la porte supérieure de Benjamin, dans la maison de l'Eternel.

3 Mais le lendemain, Paschhur fit sortir Jérémie de prison. Et Jérémie lui dit: Ce n'est pas le nom de Paschhur que l'Eternel te donne, c'est celui de Magor-Missabib.

4 Car ainsi parle l'Eternel: Voici, je te livrerai à la terreur, toi et tous tes amis; ils tomberont par l'épée de leurs ennemis, et tes yeux le verront. Je livrerai aussi tout Juda entre les mains du roi de Babylone, qui les emmènera captifs à Babylone et les frappera de l'épée.

5 Je livrerai toutes les richesses de cette ville, tout le produit de son travail, tout ce qu'elle a de précieux, je livrerai tous les trésors des rois de Juda entre les mains de leurs ennemis, qui les pilleront, les enlèveront et les transporteront à Babylone.
