Strong's Lexicon Chavvoth Yair: Villages of Jair Original Word: חַוּוֹת יָעִיר Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Chavvowth Ya`iyr Pronunciation: khav-VOTH yah-EER Phonetic Spelling: (khav-vothe' yaw-eer') Definition: hamlets of Jair Meaning: "Hamlets of Jair" refers to a group of villages or settlements associated with Jair, a descendant of Manasseh. Word Origin: Derived from חַוָּה (chavvah, meaning "village" or "hamlet") and יָעִיר (Ya'ir, a personal name meaning "he enlightens" or "he shines"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for חַוּוֹת יָעִיר, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and context. However, the concept of villages or settlements can be related to Greek terms such as κώμη (kome, meaning "village") in the Septuagint or New Testament contexts. Usage: The term "Chavvoth Ya'ir" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a collection of villages or settlements that were under the control or influence of Jair, a notable figure in the tribe of Manasseh. These settlements are mentioned in the context of territorial inheritance and conquest. Context: The "Hamlets of Jair" are mentioned in several passages of the Old Testament, primarily in the context of the territorial allotments of the tribes of Israel. Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, is credited with capturing and naming these settlements. The specific references to Chavvoth Ya'ir can be found in the following passages: • Numbers 32:41 (BSB): "Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair." • Deuteronomy 3:14 (BSB): "Jair the son of Manasseh took all the 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." • Joshua 13:30 (BSB): "The territory from Mahanaim through all Bashan—all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, including all the towns of Jair in Bashan, sixty cities." • Judges 10:4 (BSB): "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." These passages highlight the significance of Jair's conquests and the lasting legacy of his name in the region. The "Hamlets of Jair" were strategically important and symbolized the expansion and settlement of the tribe of Manasseh in the Transjordan area.
