Havoth-jair: (villages of Jair), certain villages on the east of Jordan, in Gilead or Bashan, which were taken by Jair the son of Manasseh, and called after his name. Nu 32:41; De 3:14 In the records of Manasseh in Jos 13:30 and 1Chr 2:23 the Havoth-jair are reckoned with other districts as making up sixty "cities." Comp. 1Ki 4:13 There is apparently some confusion in these different statements as to what the sixty cities really consisted of. No less doubtful is the number of the Havoth-Jair. In 1Ch 2:22 they are specified as twenty-three, but in Jud 10:4 as thirty. |
