Living Bible

⁴⁰ So Moses gave Gilead to the Machirites, and they lived there. ⁴¹ The men of Jair, another clan of the tribe of Manasseh, occupied many of the towns in Gilead, and changed the name of their area to Havroth-jair. ⁴² Meanwhile, a man named Nobah led an army^[a] to Kenath and its surrounding villages, and occupied them, and he called the area Nobah, after his own name.
