MAGOR-MISSABIB

ma'-gor-mis'-a-bib (maghor miccabhibh, "terror on every side"): A name given by Jeremiah to Pashhur ben Immer, the governor of the temple, who had caused the prophet to be beaten and set in the stocks (Jeremiah 20:3). The same expression is used (not as a proper name) in several other passages (Psalm 31:13 Jeremiah 6:25; Jeremiah 20:10; Jeremiah 46:5; Jeremiah 49:29 Lamentations 2:22).
