Dict: easton - Judah upon Jordan



easton:



Judah upon Jordan @ The Authorized Version, following the Vulgate, has this rendering in kjv@Joshua:19:34. It has been suggested that, following the Masoretic punctuation, the expression should read thus, "and Judah; the Jordan was toward the sun-rising." The sixty cities (Havoth-jair, kjv@Numbers:32:41) on the east of Jordan were reckoned as belonging to Judah, because Jair, their founder, was a Manassite only on his mother's side, but on his father's side of the tribe of Judah ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:5 kjv@1Chronicles:2:21-23).
