Vulgate (Clementine): Et audivit Phassur filius Emmer, sacerdos, qui constitutus erat princeps in domo Domini, Jeremiam prophetantem sermones istos.
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ ἤκουσεν Πασχὼρ υἱὸς Ἐμμὴρ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ οὗτος ἦν καθεσταμένος ἡγούμενος οἴκου Κυρίου, τοῦ Ἰερεμίου προφητεύοντος τοὺς λόγους τούτους.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיִּשְׁמַ֤ע פַּשְׁחוּר֙ בֶּן אִמֵּ֣ר הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְהֽוּא פָקִ֥יד נָגִ֖יד בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה אֶֽת יִרְמְיָ֔הוּ נִבָּ֖א אֶת הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵֽלֶּה

Haydock's commentary

Son, or descendant. His father was Melchia, chap. xxi. 1., and 1 Paralipomenon ix. 12. (Calmet)

Chief: high priest, (Theodoret) or rather a chief officer, (chap. xxix. 25.) or prince, (Matthew xxvi. 27.; Tolet.; Grotius) whose duty it was to take up impostors. He treated Jeremias in this light. (Calmet)

See Luke xxii. 52. (Haydock)
