From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Jet \Jet\, n. [F. jet, OF. get, giet, L. jactus a throwing, a

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Judah upon Jordan
      The Authorized Version, following the Vulgate, has this
      rendering in Josh. 19:34. It has been suggested that, following
      the Masoretic punctuation, the expression should read thus, "and
      Judah; the Jordan was toward the sun-rising." The sixty cities
      (Havoth-jair, Num. 32:41) on the east of Jordan were reckoned as
      belonging to Judah, because Jair, their founder, was a Manassite
      only on his mother's side, but on his father's side of the tribe
      of Judah (1 Chr. 2:5, 21-23).
