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