Joshua 13:30

28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.

Half the Tribe of Manasseh (East)

29 ^aMoses also had given an inheritance to half the tribe of Manasseh; it was for half the tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families:

30 Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and ^aall the towns of Jair which are in Bashan, sixty cities;

31 half of Gilead, and ^aAshtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the ^bchildren of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir according to their families.

32 These are the areas which Moses had¹ distributed as an inheritance in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho eastward.

33 ^aBut to the tribe of Levi Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, ^bas He had said to them.

Joshua 13:30

The towns of Jair - These were sixty cities; they are mentioned afterwards, and in I Chronicles 2:21, etc. They are the same with the Havoth-jair mentioned Numbers 32:41. Jair was son of Segub, grandson of Esron or Hezron, and great-grandson of Machir by his grandmother' s side, who married Hezron of the tribe of Judah. See his genealogy, I Chronicles 2:21-24.
