The name Pashhur appears in several places in the Old Testament, often associated with priestly duties and temple service. In the context of Nehemiah, the descendants of Pashhur are part of the group returning from Babylonian exile to help rebuild Jerusalem. This highlights the restoration of religious order and the re-establishment of the priesthood, which was crucial for the spiritual renewal of the nation. The mention of Pashhur connects to the broader theme of God's faithfulness in preserving the priestly line, which is essential for maintaining the covenant relationship between God and Israel.<p><b>1247</b><br>The specific number of 1,247 descendants indicates a significant family size, reflecting the importance and influence of the Pashhur lineage within the community. This enumeration underscores the meticulous record-keeping and organization necessary for the restoration efforts. It also emphasizes the fulfillment of God's promise to bring His people back to their land, as prophesied in books like Jeremiah and Isaiah. The detailed listing of numbers serves as a testament to the historical accuracy and reliability of the biblical narrative, providing a tangible connection to the past and affirming the continuity of God's plan for His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nehemiah.htm">Nehemiah</a></b><br>A Jewish leader who played a crucial role in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile.
