Strong's Lexicon Yazer: Jazer Original Word: יַעֲזֵיִר Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Ya`azeyr Pronunciation: yah-ZAYR Phonetic Spelling: (yah-az-ayr') Definition: Jaazer, Jazer Meaning: Jaazer or Jazer means "He will help" or "helpful." Word Origin: Derived from the root עָזַר (azar), meaning "to help" or "to aid." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jaazer, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. Usage: Jaazer is used as a proper noun referring to a location, specifically a city or region in the biblical narrative. Context: Jaazer, also spelled Jazer, is a significant location mentioned in the Old Testament. It was a city of the Amorites, located east of the Jordan River, in the territory that was later allotted to the tribe of Gad. The city is noted for its fertile land and vineyards, making it an important agricultural center. In the biblical narrative, Jaazer is first mentioned in the context of the Israelites' conquest of the Transjordan region. Numbers 21:32 (BSB) states, "After Moses sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its surrounding settlements and drove out the Amorites who were there." This indicates the strategic importance of Jaazer during the conquest. Jaazer is also referenced in the context of the Levitical cities. According to Joshua 21:39 (BSB), "Heshbon and Jazer, each with its pasturelands—four cities in all." This highlights its role as a city designated for the Levites, emphasizing its religious significance. The city is further mentioned in the prophetic literature, where it is associated with mourning and lamentation due to its destruction or desolation. Isaiah 16:8-9 (BSB) speaks of the vineyards of Jazer and the weeping over their loss, illustrating the city's agricultural prominence and the impact of its devastation. Jaazer's location and fertile lands made it a notable site in the biblical narrative, serving both as a strategic military location and a center for agriculture and Levitical activity.
