It is associated with a group of settlements or encampments in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. The name is primarily linked to Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, who captured these villages.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>The term "Havvoth-jair" appears in several passages within the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the territorial expansions and settlements of the Israelites.<br><br>1. <b><a href="/numbers/32-41.htm">Numbers 32:41</a> :</b> "Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair."<br> <br>2. <b><a href="/deuteronomy/3-14.htm">Deuteronomy 3:14</a> :</b> "Jair the son of Manasseh took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites. It was named after him, that is, Havvoth-jair, to this day."<br><br>3. <b><a href="/judges/10-3.htm">Judges 10:3-4</a> :</b> "After him, Jair the Gileadite arose and judged Israel twenty-two years. He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which are called Havvoth-jair to this day."<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b> <br>Havvoth-jair is situated in the region of Gilead, a fertile and strategically significant area east of the Jordan River. This region was allocated to the half-tribe of Manasseh during the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. The capture and naming of these villages by Jair signify the expansion and consolidation of Israelite territory in Transjordan.<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Significance:</b> <br>The account of Havvoth-jair highlights the fulfillment of God's promises to the descendants of Abraham regarding the land. It underscores the importance of leadership and legacy within the tribes of Israel, as Jair's name and influence persisted through the naming of these settlements. The reference to Jair's thirty sons and their governance over thirty towns reflects the prosperity and stability achieved under his leadership.<br><br><b>Related Figures:</b> <br>· <b>Jair:</b> A prominent figure in the tribe of Manasseh, known for his military conquests and leadership. He is recognized as a judge of Israel, contributing to the peace and governance of the nation during his tenure.<br>· <b>Manasseh:</b> One of the sons of Joseph, whose descendants settled in the region of Gilead. The tribe of Manasseh played a significant role in the history and expansion of Israelite territory.<br><br><b>Legacy and Influence:</b> <br>The mention of Havvoth-jair in multiple biblical texts indicates its lasting significance in Israelite history. The villages served as a testament to the successful settlement and administration of the land by the Israelites. The legacy of Jair and his descendants is preserved through these references, illustrating the enduring impact of faithful leadership and divine provision in the history of Israel.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/2334.htm"><span class="l">2334.
