Kommentar zu Jeschijahu 5:2
וַֽיְעַזְּקֵ֣הוּ וַֽיְסַקְּלֵ֗הוּ וַיִּטָּעֵ֙הוּ֙ שֹׂרֵ֔ק וַיִּ֤בֶן מִגְדָּל֙ בְּתוֹכ֔וֹ וְגַם־יֶ֖קֶב חָצֵ֣ב בּ֑וֹ וַיְקַ֛ו לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת עֲנָבִ֖ים וַיַּ֥עַשׂ בְּאֻשִֽׁים׃
Er grub ihn um und reinigte ihn von Steinen; er bepflanzte ihn mit edlen Reben und baute einen Turm darin, und auch einen Keller haute er darin aus. Er hoffte, dass er [gute] Trauben bringen werde, doch er brachte Heerlinge.
Rashi on Isaiah
And he fenced it in Heb. וַיְעַזְּקֵהוּ. He fenced it and walled it around, surrounded like a sort of ring, translated into Aramaic as עִיזְקָא.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
ויעזקהו According to some: he sealed it; comp. the Chaldæan עזקתא Ring (3:21) for the Hebrew 5עזק would thus be a denominative of עזקא ring: to seal with the ring.;טבעת but this gives no sense; I think that this word is hapax legomenon. In Arabic there is, however, a word of the same root, meaning fence or hedge (to fence).
