SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:41
También Jair hijo de Manasés fue y tomó sus aldeas, y les puso por nombre Havot-jair.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 32:41
Verse 41. Havoth-jair.] That is, the villages or habitations of Jair; and thus they should have been translated. As these two tribes and a half were the first, says Ainsworth, who had their inheritance assigned to them in the promised land, so they were the first of all Israel that were carried captive out of their own land, because of their sins. "For they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after other gods. And God delivered them into the hands of Pul and Tiglath-Pilneser, kings of Assyria, and they brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and Gozan, unto this day." See 1 Chron. v. 25, 26.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 41. And Jair the son of Manasseh , etc.] By his mother’s side, otherwise he was of the family of Judah; for Hezron, of the family of Judah, married a daughter of Machir, the son of Manasseh, by whom he had a son called Segub, who was the father of Jair, ( 1 Chronicles 2:21,22), the same went and took the small towns thereof ; of that part of Gilead given to Machir: and called them Havothjair ; after his own name: in ( Deuteronomy 3:14), they are called Bashanhavothjair.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 28-42 - Concerning the settlement of these tribes, observe, that they built the cities, that is, repaired them. They changed the names of them probably they were idolatrous, therefore they should be forgotten. spirit of selfishness, of seeking our own, not the things of Christ when each one ought to assist others, is as dangerous as it is common It is impossible to be sincere in the faith, sensible of the goodnes of God, constrained by the love of Christ, sanctified by the power of the Holy Ghost, and yet be indifferent to the progress of religion, an the spiritual success of others, through love of ease, or fear of conflict. Let then your light so shine before men, that they may se your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven __________________________________________________________________
