2. he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten. And he had Jeremiah’s hands and feet locked between large blocks of wood. This was at the Upper Gate of Benjamin of the Lord’S Temple.
3. The next day Pashhur took Jeremiah out from between the blocks of wood. Then Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord’S name for you is not Pashhur. Now his name for you is ‘Surrounded by Terror.’
