di.von is a Hebrew place name used for a location in territorial, settlement, judgment, and travel notices.

The term functions as a proper name for a location: it marks a boundary point, appears among towns, identifies a place inhabited or built, and names the site addressed in a judgment announcement. In travel notices, the APB presents the location within the compound place-name “Dibon-gad.”

    The supplied morphology identifies the form as a proper noun. In Joshua 13:9 the APB renders a territorial extent “as far as Dibon”; in Numbers 32:34 it names the place the sons of Gad built, and in Jeremiah 48:18 it identifies those who dwell there and are told to come down from glory. Numbers 33:45 presents the same location within the travel-stage name “Dibon-gad.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB normally presents the proper name as “Dibon,” including in geographic lists, boundary language, and the address to its inhabitants. In Numbers 33:45 and Numbers 33:46, it presents the travel location as “Dibon-gad”; This reflects the verse-level place-name presentation.
