Exegesis
The proper name Pashhur {פַשְׁחוּר | paš-ḥūr} functions as subject, followed by the direct object marker et {אֵת | ʾēṯ} and the object Yirmeyahu {יִרְמְיָהוּ | yir-mə-yā-hū}, specified by the definite noun hanavi {הַנָּבִיא | han-nā-ḇîʾ}.
In context — Jeremiah 20:2
And Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and he put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate, which was by the house of the LORD .
