Person
Pashhur
ancestral priestly figure
Ancestral priestly figure whose clan of 1,247 descendants returned from Babylonian exile and was counted among the priests in post-exilic registers.
Who or what is this?
Pashhur is recorded as an ancestral head of a priestly family whose descendants returned from exile. 2 and 7 list 1,247 descendants of Pashhur among the returning priests. Some members of the family had married foreign wives and appear in Ezra 10 among those compelled to put them away. Pashhur is distinguished in Nehemiah's genealogical and census lists as a distinct priestly line, separate from other individuals of the same name—such as the priest who struck —by virtue of appearing only in these post-exilic community registers.
