21 And afterwards hath Hezron gone in unto a daughter of Machir father of Gilead, and he hath taken her, and he 'is' a son of sixty years, and she beareth to him Segub. 22 And Segub begat Jair, and he hath twenty and three cities in the land of Gilead, 23 and he taketh Geshur and Aram, the small villages of Jair, from them, with Kenath and its small towns, sixty cities—all these 'belonged to' the sons of Machir 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.
