JAARE-OREGIM

(Jaʹa·re-orʹe·gim).

A name appearing only at 2 Samuel 21:19. It is generally believed that scribal error has given rise to this name and that the correct reading is preserved in the parallel text at 1 Chronicles 20:5. “Jaare” is considered to be an alteration of “Jair,” and “oregim” (ʼor·ghimʹ, “weavers” or “loom workers”) is thought to have been copied inadvertently from a line below in the same verse.
