Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 20:1 In-Context

1 Cuando el sacerdote Pasur hijo de Imer, que era el oficial principal de la casa del SEÑOR, oyó lo que Jeremías profetizaba,

2 mandó que golpearan al profeta Jeremías y que lo colocaran en el cepo ubicado en la puerta alta de Benjamín, junto a la casa del SEÑOR.

3 A la mañana siguiente, cuando Pasur liberó a Jeremías del cepo, Jeremías le dijo: «El SEÑOR ya no te llama Pasur, sino “Terror por todas partes”.

4 Porque así dice el SEÑOR: “Te voy a convertir en terror para ti mismo y para tus amigos, los cuales caerán bajo la espada de sus enemigos, y tú mismo lo verás. Entregaré a todo Judá en manos del rey de Babilonia, el cual los deportará a Babilonia o los matará a filo de espada.

5 Además, pondré en manos de sus enemigos toda la riqueza de esta ciudad, todos sus productos y objetos de valor, y todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá, para que los saqueen y se los lleven a Babilonia.
