Study note
Setting — The Chronicler compiles a post-exilic register of temple personnel, listing priestly lineages to establish their authorized service roles in the restored house of God. The words — בֶּן (ben) = son of, repeated to chain each generation, and פַּשְׁחוּר (Pashhur) = sound of God, marking the primary priestly branch highlighted in the opening clause. The thread — This Pashhur line appears alongside the Immer line in the temple division lists of 1 Chronicles 24:14, while Ezra 2:37 and Nehemiah 7:40 separately record the returnee count for Immer’s descendants. Why it lands — The text demands recognition that temple service required verified genealogical continuity, leaving the reader to account for how each listed name connects to the restored worship community.
