Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 3:4/אבן עזרא על דברים ג׳:ד׳
אחבל ארגוב. דברי המתרגם ארמית ידועים וי״א שהוא שם אדם היה בחלקו מירושת אביו זה החבל וי״א כי האל״ף נוסף והוא מגזרת ורגבים ידובקו בדרך רחוקה:
1THE REGION OF ARGOB. The words of the Aramaic translator3 are known.4 as tarchona, i.e., Trachonites. Trachonites is a district on the Golan heights. Some say that Argob is the name of a person who possessed this region as an inheritance from his father. Some go far afield and say that the alef of Argob is superfluous and that Argob is related to the word regavim (clods) in And the clods cleave fast together (Job 38:38).5 Argob as the district of clods.
