Commentary on Genesis 10:23

Theological / Devotional

The children of Aram; Uz. The name Uz was borne not only by Aram’s eldest son but also by the first son of Nahor (chapter 22:21, KJV, “Huz”), and by a grandson of Seir, the ancestor of the Horites. It is therefore difficult to limit Uz to a well-defined region. For the same reason it is not possible to determine Job’s location as an inhabitant of the land Uz (Job 1:1), nor to identify Sasi, the prince of Uz, mentioned by the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III. Nothing is known of the Aramaic tribes of Hul, Gether, and Mash.
