Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words מָגוֹר (magor, meaning "fear" or "terror") and מִסָּבִיב (mis-sabib, meaning "all around" or "on every side").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for this specific Hebrew proper noun, as it is a unique symbolic name used in a specific prophetic context within the Hebrew Bible. However, the themes of fear and terror can be related to Greek words such as φόβος (phobos, Strong's Greek 5401), meaning "fear" or "terror." Usage: This proper noun is used as a symbolic name given by the prophet Jeremiah to Pashhur, a priest and chief officer in the house of the LORD, to signify the terror and calamity that would befall him and his associates. It is a prophetic declaration of impending judgment and disaster. Context: Magor-mis-Sabib is a symbolic name used by the prophet Jeremiah in the Old Testament. It appears in the context of a confrontation between Jeremiah and Pashhur, a priest who had Jeremiah beaten and put in stocks for prophesying against Jerusalem. In response, Jeremiah declared that the LORD had not called Pashhur by his given name but rather "Magor-mis-Sabib," indicating that Pashhur would experience terror on every side. This name serves as a prophetic sign of the judgment that would come upon Pashhur and the people of Judah due to their disobedience and rejection of God's word. The name encapsulates the theme of divine retribution and the inevitable consequences of turning away from God's commands. The account is found in Jeremiah 20:3-4, where the prophet states: "The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, 'The LORD does not call you Pashhur, but Magor-mis-Sabib. For this is what the LORD says: I will make you a terror to yourself and all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies while you look on. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, who will carry them away to Babylon and put them to the sword.'"
