("terror on every side".) The name given by Jeremiah (Jer 20:3) to Pushut when he smote and put him into the stocks for prophesying against Jerusalem. The phrase is frequent in Jeremiah, as Jer 6:25; 20:10; 46:5; 49:29; La 2:22; elsewhere only Ps 31:13. Pashur, whose name means "largeness on every side," was to become "terror on every side."
