After Tola died, another judge was sent by God. That man’s name was Jair. Jair lived in the area of Gilead. Jair was a judge for the people of Israel for 22 years.
Moses said to them, “The people of Gad and Reuben will cross {the Jordan River}. They will march before the Lord into battle. They will help you take the land. And you will give the land of Gilead as their part of the country.
Jair had 30 sons. Those 30 sons rode 30 donkeys. [92] Those 30 sons controlled 30 towns in the area of Gilead. Those towns are called the Towns of Jair to this very day.
