Haydock's commentary
Jair. Some have supposed that this was one of the judges of Israel, but without foundation. He was a son or descendant of Manasses, Numbers xxxii. 41., and Judges x. 4.
And Machati. These were the most southern towns of this half tribe. (Calmet)
Day. If Esdras added these words, he did it not against the law, but to explain it. (Worthington)
