Pashhur

Pashhur was the ancestor of a priestly family that returned to Judah from Babylonian exile. In Ezra 2:38 and Nehemiah 7:41, the descendants of Pashhur are listed among the priests who returned to Jerusalem. 1 Chronicles 9:12 mentions Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, as one of the priests who settled in Jerusalem. Nehemiah 11:12 also lists Adaiah the son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, among the priests living in Jerusalem. In Ezra 10:22, descendants of Pashhur are named among those who had married foreign women, which was a violation of the Law. The Pashhur family was one of the important priestly clans in the post-exilic community in Judah.
