Magormissabib. [Ma'gor-mis'sabib]


Symbolical name given by God through Jeremiah to Pashur the priest who had beaten him and placed him in the stocks. Jer. 20: 1-3. In the margin it is 'fear round about.' The same Hebrew is translated 'fear on every side' in Jer. 20: 10. God would make Pashur a terror to himself and to all his friends. He had prophesied lies, and should die in Babylon. Jer. 20: 6.
