Hamlets of the enlightener a district in the east of Jordan.
1. Jair, the son of Manasseh, took some villages of Gilead and called them by this name (Numbers 32:41).
2. Again, it is said that Jair "took all the tract of Argob," and called it Bashanhavoth-jair (Deuteronomy 3:14). (See also Joshua 13:30; 1 Kings 4:13; 1 Chronicles 2:22, 23.)
(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." Comp. (1 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.
