Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Genesis 22:21 — KJV
Huz his firstborn. This name appears also in the list of Aram’s sons (ch. 10:23). Two distinct individuals are indicated.
Buz his brother. With Dedan and Teman, Buz is mentioned as an Arabian tribe (Jer. 25:23). Elihu was a “Buzite” (Job 32:2, 6). The land of Bazu, in the Assyrian inscriptions of Esarhaddon, seems to have been the area inhabited by this tribe. Whether the tribe of Buz descended from Nahor’s son Buz is uncertain.
Kemuel. Not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. There was, however, an Ephramite chieftain by this name at the time of the Exodus, and also a Levite of David’s time (Num. 34:24).
The father of Aram. This grandson of Nahor is not the ancestor of the Aramaeans (see ch. 10:22). He may, however, have been named in honor of Aram the son of Shem.
