(Jehovah helps), a town on the east of Jordan, in or near to Gilead (Numbers 32:1, 3; 1 Chronicles 26:31). We first hear of it in possession of the Amorites, and as taken by Israel after Heshbon, and on their way from thence to Bashan (Numbers 21:32). It seems to have given its name to a district of dependent or “daughter” towns (Numbers 21:32). Authorized Version “villages,” 1 Macc. 5:8, the “land of Jazer” (Numbers 32:1)
