Havothjair:
(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 (Numbers 32:41; 3:14). In the records of Manasseh in Joshua 13:30 and 1 Chronicles 2:23. The Havoth‐jair are reckoned with other districts as making up sixty "cities." (compare1 Kings 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 1 Chronicles 2:22, they are specified as twenty‐three, but in Judges 10:4 as thirty.

Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
