Strong's Lexicon Chavvoth Yair: Villages of Jair Original Word: חַוּוֹת יָעִיר Word Origin: Derived from חַוָּה (chavvah, meaning "village" or "tent village") and יָאִיר (Yair, a personal name meaning "he enlightens" or "he shines"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Chavvoth Yair in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Chavvoth Yair refers to a group of villages or settlements in the region of Gilead, which were named after Jair, a descendant of Manasseh. These villages were part of the inheritance given to the tribe of Manasseh on the east side of the Jordan River. Cultural and Historical Background: The Chavvoth Yair were significant in the territorial allotments of the Israelite tribes as they settled in the Promised Land. Jair, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh, captured these villages and named them after himself. This act of naming places after individuals was a common practice in ancient times, reflecting both personal legacy and territorial claims. The region of Gilead, where these villages were located, was known for its fertile land and strategic importance.
