This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

This chief, of the tribe of Manasseh, in accordance with the pastoral habits of his people, called these newly acquired towns by a name which signifies “Jair’s Bedouin Villages of Tents.”
unto this day - This remark must evidently have been introduced by Ezra, or some of the pious men who arranged and collected the books of Moses.
