About Jaare-oregim
A name that appears in some Bible translations of 2 Samuel 21:19. This name resulted from a scribal error in the Hebrew text. The original text likely referred to Jair, as reflected in the Berean Standard Bible and many other modern translations. The error happened because the word oregim (which means "weavers") was accidentally copied twice from later in the verse. Many scholars and translators correct this mistake by following the parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 20:5, which names Jair (or Jaor in some manuscripts).
