யாவீர் (Num 32:41)

பற்றி · About

Jair was a descendant of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, who played a significant role in the conquest and settlement of the region east of the Jordan River. According to Num.32.41 and Deu.3.14, Jair captured the settlements in Gilead and named them Havvoth-jair, which means "the towns of Jair." 1Ch.2.22 states that Jair controlled twenty-three cities in Gilead. In 2Sa.20.26, a person named Ira the Jairite is mentioned as one of David's officials, possibly indicating that Jair's descendants continued to hold influential positions. 1Ki.4.13 refers to the towns of Jair in the context of Solomon's administrative districts, suggesting that the region remained associated with Jair's name long after his lifetime.
