And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.
Pashur - compounded of two roots [paashach and caachowr (Maurer): rather paasaah (H6581), to be diffused widely, and caachar, to go on every side:] meaning 'largeness' (and so 'security') 'on every side;' in antithesis to Magor-missabib, 'terror round about' (Jeremiah 20:10; Jeremiah 6:25; Jeremiah 46:5; Jeremiah 49:29; Psalms 31:13).
