Exegesis

The Hifil wayyiqtol verb vayotze {וַיֹּצֵ֥א | wa-yō-ṣēʾ} ‘brought out’ takes Pashhur {פַשְׁחוּר | paš-ḥūr} as subject and marks Jeremiah {יִרְמְיָהוּ | yir-mə-yā-hū} as object with et {אֶֽת־ | ʾeṯ}, while the prepositional phrase min-hamahpekhet {מִן־הַמַּהְפָּ֑כֶת | min ham-mah-pə-ḵeṯ} specifies the stocks as the instrument.

In contextJeremiah 20:3

And it came to pass on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out from the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, "The LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but rather Magor-Missaviv ."
