Argov - Old Testament People, Places, Plants and Animals

An area of Transjordan having sixty fortified cities and several unwalled towns which was conquered by the Israelites under Moses, having previously been part of the territory of Og, the king of Bashan (Deuteronomy 3:3-5). Rabbinical scholars identified the Argov region with el-Leja, east of lake Kinnereth; others suggest the area of land between the Arnon and the Jabbok.
