21 Some time later Hezron married the daughter of Makir the father of Gilead; he was sixty years old when he married her; she gave birth to Segub. 22 Then Segub had Jair who owned twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead. 23 Geshur and Aram captured the nomadic villages of Jair and Kenath and their satellite settlements - sixty towns. These all belonged to Makir the father of Gilead.

We are now come to the register of the children of Israel, that distinguished people, who were to dwell alone, and not be reckoned among the nations. But now, in Christ, all are welcome to his salvation who come to him; all have equal privileges according to their faith in him, their love and devotedness to him. All that is truly valuable consists in the favour, peace, and image of God, and a life spent to his glory, in promoting the welfare of our fellow-creatures.
