Literally, Havoth-Jair, as in <a href="/numbers/32-41.htm">Numbers 32:41</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/3-14.htm">Deuteronomy 3:14</a>. The word חַיִּת is derived from חוה to live, and the word is compared by Gesenius to the names Eisleben and the like in Germany. So we use the phrase "five," as synonymous with "dwell." Why the term is confined to these particular cities is not known. Gesenius regards it as equivalent to "nomadic encampment." But the ruins of the giant cities of Bashan, recently rediscovered in our own time (by Mr. Cyril Graham, in 1857), and displaying all the signs of high civilisation, dispose of this idea. These cities are mentioned in <a href="/deuteronomy/3-4.htm">Deuteronomy 3:4</a> as "threescore cities, all the region of Argob," and again in ver. 13, "all the region of Argob with all Bashan, which is called the land of giants." "To the east he (Abraham) would leave the barren and craggy fatnesses of the formidable Argob, still (i.e., in Abraham's time, not Joshua's) the asylum of the fiercest outlaws; and would jealously avoid the heathen haunts in groves and on high places where smoke arose to the foul image, and the frantic dance swept round." (Tomkins, 'Studies on the Time of Abraham,' p. 69. See also note on 'Judah upon Jordan,' <a href="/joshua/19-34.htm">Joshua 19:34</a>). Threescore cities (cf. <a href="/joshua/17-1.htm">Joshua 17:1</a>). It was the martial character, as well as the half tribe of Manasseh, that qualified him to receive and subdue this important territory with its wide extent and teeming population. In the article on Manasseh in Smith's 'Dictionary of the Bible,' reference is made to the fact that, while Ephraim only sent 20,800, and Western Manasseh 18,000, Reuben, Gad, and Eastern Manasseh sent the immense number of 120,000, and this while Abner, the supporter of Ishbosheth, had his headquarters at Mahanaim. But the numbers are suspicious, especially when Judah, always a powerful tribe, comes below the insignificant tribe of Simeon in number. And a comparison of <a href="/2_samuel/5-1.htm">2 Samuel 5:1</a> with <a href="/1_chronicles/12-22.htm">1 Chronicles 12:22, 23</a>, would lead to the idea that the coronation of David after the death of Ishbosheth is the event referred to (see also <a href="/1_chronicles/12-38.htm">1 Chronicles 12:38-40</a>). <a href="/commentaries/joshua/13-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>The territory גְבוּלָ֗ם (ḡə·ḇū·lām) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1366.htm">Strong's 1366: </a> A cord, a boundary, the territory inclosed from Mahanaim מִמַּחֲנַ֨יִם (mim·ma·ḥă·na·yim) Preposition-m | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4266.htm">Strong's 4266: </a> Mahanaim -- 'two camps', a place East of the Jordan through all כָּֽל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every Bashan— הַבָּשָׁ֜ן (hab·bā·šān) Article | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1316.htm">Strong's 1316: </a> Bashan -- 'smooth', a region East of the Jordan all כָּֽל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the kingdom מַמְלְכ֣וּת ׀ (mam·lə·ḵūṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4468.htm">Strong's 4468: </a> Dominion, the estate, the country of Og ע֣וֹג (‘ō·wḡ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5747.htm">Strong's 5747: </a> Og -- king of Bashan king מֶֽלֶךְ־ (me·leḵ-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king of Bashan, הַבָּשָׁ֗ן (hab·bā·šān) Article | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1316.htm">Strong's 1316: </a> Bashan -- 'smooth', a region East of the Jordan including all וְכָל־ (wə·ḵāl) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the towns חַוֺּ֥ת (ḥaw·wōṯ) Noun - feminine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2333.htm">Strong's 2333: </a> An encampment, village of Jair יָאִ֛יר (yā·’îr) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2971.htm">Strong's 2971: </a> Jair -- 'he enlightens', three Israelites that אֲשֶׁ֥ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that are in Bashan, בַּבָּשָׁ֖ן (bab·bā·šān) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1316.htm">Strong's 1316: </a> Bashan -- 'smooth', a region East of the Jordan sixty שִׁשִּׁ֥ים (šiš·šîm) Number - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8346.htm">Strong's 8346: </a> Sixty cities, עִֽיר׃ (‘îr) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5892.htm">Strong's 5892: </a> Excitement <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joshua/13-30.htm">Joshua 13:30 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/joshua/13-30.htm">Joshua 13:30 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/joshua/13-30.htm">Joshua 13:30 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/joshua/13-30.htm">Joshua 13:30 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/joshua/13-30.htm">Joshua 13:30 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/13-30.htm">Joshua 13:30 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/13-30.htm">Joshua 13:30 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/13-30.htm">Joshua 13:30 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/13-30.htm">Joshua 13:30 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/joshua/13-30.htm">Joshua 13:30 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/joshua/13-30.htm">OT History: Joshua 13:30 Their border was from Mahanaim all Bashan (Josh.
